Think Tank was made without Graham Coxon: the guitarist left the sessions early and appears only on the closing track "Battery in Your Leg". The rest of Blur recorded at Damon Albarn's Studio 13, in a studio they built themselves in Marrakech, and in a barn in Devon, with Ben Hillier as main producer and contributions from Norman Cook and William Orbit. The result leans on rhythm, dub and North African colour, with "Out of Time" the biggest hit alongside "Crazy Beat" and "Good Song". The seventh studio album, originally released in 2003, entered at number 1 in the UK and won that year's Q Award for Best Album. The sleeve is a Banksy stencil.

This edition is a 2-LP on black vinyl.
