Bustin' + Dronin is a remix compilation/live album by the band Blur. It was originally only released in Japan but was also released in limited quantities in the UK and the US, and being released only on double-CD format. The first disc featured all the remixed songs from the band's eponymous album, Blur. After five albums with the same producer (Stephen Street), Food Records turned the songs from Blur over to other producers for remixing. The band later chose William Orbit to produce their sixth studio album, 13. The second disc featured their live at John Peel's live session called "Peel Acres". Due to its low key, limited release in the UK, Bustin' + Dronin only reached number 50 on the albums chart, though it is the only import release by the band to chart in the UK.

The album was reissued in 2022 on coloured vinyl and CD as a Record Store Day exclusive, making it the first time it has been available on the vinyl format. However, this reissue omits the live album part recorded at Peel Acres that was included in the original release.
