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.

For its 25th anniversary, 'Expecting To Fly' has been given the deluxe reissue treatment, featuring pre-fame demos, an art booklet, and sleevenotes by 6music DJ Steve Lamacq.
