Leisure (album)
Encyclopedia : L : LE : LEI : Leisure (album)
Leisure is the debut album by English rock band Blur, released 26 August 1991 and charting at #7 in the UK Albums Chart (see 1991 in British music). The album was released in the US a month later and featured various differences. The album was frontloaded with the three UK singles and the song "Sing" was replaced by b-side "I Know".
Released during the waning days of the Shoegazing period, Leisure was considered an album that was catching the end of a trend, as were Blur. But they would reinvent themselves with their second album, Modern Life Is Rubbish, in 1993.
Sing Was to be included on the Trainspotting soundtrack.
