Product Information

It is now 20 years since Gorillaz’ eponymous debut album was released and this event weirdly coincides with the announcement today by the Department of Music Correction of previously sensitive documents being de-classified and made available, causing an uncovering of early demos and rarities. Murray, Eoin (26 March 2021). "Gorillaz celebrate 20th anniversary of debut album with reissue and NFT teasers". DJ Magazine . Retrieved 5 November 2021. Tomorrow Comes Today" was the fourth and final single from the album, released almost a year after the album, in February 2002. It peaked at number 33 on the UK Singles Chart. [52] The album made some retrospective "best of" lists. Slant Magazine ranked the album no. 96 in its best of the 2000s, [46] Complex, Consequence Of Sound and Rhapsody ranked it among the top 100 albums of the 2000s [47] [48] [49] and Gigwise included it in its 2013 best self-titled albums of all time.

In March 2021, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the album's release, a vinyl box set was announced. [9] The first edition of the boxset, which was exclusive to the band's webstore, was released on 10 December 2021. The boxset includes previously released material, including the original album, the B-sides compilation album G-Sides, and the remix album Laika Come Home (which received its first reissue since its initial press) and previously unreleased material, including live performances from the 2001 London Forum concert and five demos. [10] Additionally, it also includes notes and early sketches by Jamie Hewlett during the making of the album. [11] Later editions will also be released in 2022.

Tomorrow Comes Today" was released as an EP before the album was released. A video for the single was also released. Although it comes with everything as advertised, I can definitely see the disappointment that some people are having with this set. Whitehill, Gaby (17 December 2013).

Archived from the original (PDF) on 22 February 2008 – via National Library of Australia. Musician Damon Albarn and comic book creator Jamie Hewlett met in 1990 when guitarist Graham Coxon, a fan of Hewlett's work, asked him to interview Blur, a band Albarn and Coxon had recently formed. [3] The interview was published in Deadline magazine, home of Hewlett's comic strip, Tank Girl. Hewlett initially thought Albarn was "arsey, a wanker"; despite becoming acquaintances with the band, they often did not get on, especially after Hewlett began seeing Coxon's ex-girlfriend Jane Olliver. [3] Despite this, Albarn and Hewlett started sharing a flat on Westbourne Grove in London in 1997. [4] Hewlett had recently broken up with Olliver and Albarn was at the end of his highly publicised relationship with Justine Frischmann of Elastica.
