The Bluetones are a London-based four-piece indie-pop band formed in 1993. They were highly successful during the peak of Britpop in the mid-90's, achieving a debut number one album that knocked Oasis' (What's The Story) Morning Glory? from the top spot. Their most famous song, "Slight Return," just missed out on a number one single due to Babylon Zoo's "Spaceman" being featured in a Levi's TV ad. Despite this, Scott joked that he actually bought a copy of "Spaceman." In their early days, they shared a house in Hounslow with Dodgy.
In 2011, The Bluetones decided to call it quits and embarked on a farewell tour. However, Mark continued to record and tour solo material. The band later reunited for an anniversary tour in 2015/6 and also re-released two demos (including Slight Return) on limited edition 7" vinyls for the occasion.
Eds from The Bluetones went to school with Gem Archer of Heavy Stereo and Oasis fame. With their catchy indie-pop sound, The Bluetones have often been compared to similar artists such as The Seahorses, Shed Seven, Dodgy, Longpigs, Sleeper, Ocean Colour Scene, Mansun, Cast, Echobelly,and Gene among others.

Box Sets

Hailing from Heston in West London, The Bluetones (Scott Morriss – bass, Eds Chesters – drums, Adam Devlin – guitars, and Mark Morriss – vocals) arrived on the scene in 1995 with their debut single “Are You Blue Or Are You Blind?”. They followed this up with “Bluetonic” and then “Slight Return”, which reached # 2 on the UK singles chart. The debut album Expecting To Fly was released in February 1996, and went straight to # 1. Many more hit singles followed, along with two more hit albums, Return To The Last Chance Saloon (# 10) and Science And Nature (# 7). This first ever comprehensive box set of The Bluetones’ first period of recordings – from 1994 to 2002 – contains 93 tracks across six CDs. It includes the first three albums – Expecting To Fly (1996), Return To The Last Chance Saloon (1998) and Science And Nature (2000) – plus the collection of pre-fame demos “The Early Garage Years”, forty-five non-album A- and B-sides and rarities, along with three previously unreleased demos (mastered for this compilation by Nigel Clark of Dodgy). The six CDs are presented in facsimile wallets, and the booklet features all the credits, along with memorabilia and ephemera from the band members’ own collections.
