1993 Blur “Modern Life Is Rubbish” Album Advertisement – Britpop Iconic Release

Description:
This is an original 1993 advertisement for Blur’s second studio album, “Modern Life Is Rubbish,” a defining release in the Britpop era. The ad features the iconic artwork of the LNER Class A4 steam locomotive “Bittern,” reinforcing the album’s themes of nostalgia, British identity, and modern disillusionment.

The advertisement promotes the album’s release on Food Records and includes tour dates for Blur’s UK promotional tour, listing cities such as Leicester, Northampton, Manchester, Bristol, and more. The design reflects the album’s critique of contemporary life, contrasting the past’s industrial elegance with modern society’s perceived decline.

This 23.5  x 15.5 cm print (with an additional 2 cm border) is an authentic piece of 1990s music advertising history. Due to its age, slight signs of wear may be present, adding to its vintage character. A perfect collectible for Blur fans, Britpop enthusiasts, and collectors of classic album advertisements.
