Midlife: A Beginner's Guide to Blur is a two-disc compilation album by Blur, released by EMI Records June 15, 2009 (2009-06-15). Designed as a sampler for casual listeners, and with a greater focus on the band's career highlights rather than their hit singles, it is Blur's second retrospective collection, succeeding 2000's Blur: The Best Of and coincides with the band's 2009 reunion performances.
This is a special 5-disc edition of Blur's live album Parklive. It consists of 4 CDs (presented in this distribution) and 1 DVD with a video recording of the concert (already on the tracker). CD 1 and CD 2 contain the actual concert, while CD 3 and CD 4 contain rare live recordings and a recording of the concert "Blur - Live At The 100 Club"

The CD album includes 17 of Blur's 23 singles from 1990 to 2000, plus new track "Music Is My Radar". A special edition of the CD version included a live CD. The DVD/VHS version contains the videos of Blur's first 22 singles. The album, which has had enduring sales, hit #3 in the band's native UK in the autumn of 2000, while denting the US charts at #186. The cover is by artist Julian Opie. The painting of this Blur album can be found at the National Portrait Gallery in London, England.
