Re: Zoetrope disc
It was £34.99 Not too bad then (in modern vinyl price terms). I thought it might be a £50 job. My slowness put paid to all this though! It depends on where you live though. For Europeans outside the UK the price more than doubles: Shipping from UK to Europe too expensive (over €14) plus prepare for...

Re: Your bet for main single of
Well I would definitely say Dreamland was the main single from Hotspot, not because it was released first but because the loosely associated tour is called Dreamworld (greatest hits I grant you). The other option was Business Tour or Monkey Tour. :mrgreen: I'm joking. I see what you mean but I thin...

Re: Zoetrope disc
By the way, you’ll need a strobing light and film it in action to actually see it work. Prepare to be underwhelmed. I didn't know this. So you can't see anything without a strobe light? Is that really true tottenhammattspurs? I had always assumed they were cued to the 33rpm speed of the record! Nea...

Re: Your bet for main single of
Serious question - what do you class as an album’s “main single”? Do you not just mean either the one that you like the most, or the one that proves to be the biggest hit? Which was the “main single” of Hotspot? "Monkey Business". It was the only one with a proper music video and with per...

Re: Nonetheless album cover meaning?
Constrained by lockdowns I reckon this alludes to, with other double meanings too I am sure.

Re: Lead Singles - Commercial Comparison
Very interesting. I'd be further interested to see a similar analysis for Very era singles, including comparison to imperial phase singles like Its a Sin and Always on my Mind.

Re: New Single - Loneliness
Had the euphoric excitement of old times this morning anticipating a new PSB release. Got out of bed at half past ten, drank some tea, then did some shopping. Went to HMV, picked up the CD from the shelf, exchanged cash, then went home, put in on and listened to it again and again all afternoon. Hi...

Re: Why don't they produce their own albums?
Others have said it above but its to give a different personality to each album, then also saves them from what I guess are some of the more tedious aspects of production. I liked the fact that the last three albums were produced as a semi-coherent trilogy with Stuart Price, though Hotspot does soun...
