So with the year coming to an end, this also means that I will be wrapping up Britpop themed posts and what better way than taking a dive into a selection of tracks from arguabley the last year of the scene. As with the other entries that have already been posted which looked at 1997, this includes some of the big hitters (Oasis and Pulp), the under card (Shed Seven) and the those who were hoping that Britpop would still be fashionable as they put out their records (pretty much everyone else).

Like my previous efforts for 1997, this was produced to be a double LP, this is what the artwork for the gatefold sleeve.
I used Virgin as the record label as they were the ones who produced The Best Album in the World Series of CDs that I bought in the 90s.
The cover comes from https://pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/10045-the-50-best-britpop-albums/ and pays homage to Sgt Pepper.
