Blur released their first single, Fool's Day, in seven years with its original line up last weekend to mark Record Store Day with just 1000 copies on 7" vinyl.
Understandably, these copies were snapped up quickly and they were on eBay soon enough. LOL My, when there's money to be made, one has to act quickly! Fans of Blur who missed the opportunity to buy it at brick and mortar stores have resorted to eBay, naturally, and even on eBay, they were selling quickly too, for up to £200!
At the same time, Blur has also allowed fans to download an original copy of the single, Fool's Day, legally from their website. This is to avoid fans from obtaining low quality copies from other sources.
I think that this is a good gimmick to promote their upcoming album. It creates an awareness and makes fans yearn for more Blur music.
