I too will not buy CD1 if that tracklisting is correct. In Private is an odd choice for the b-side of Minimal in my opinion - the best (minimal) and worst tracks of the Fundamental set together? I wouldnt have.

The Tocadisco remix is a stunner and havent heard the other mixes but I'll be buying CD2 and the DVD.

In Private as the b-side? Yuck! What have we done to deserve this? :cry:

Why isn't Blue On Blue on the CD instead? I feel quite aggrieved that PSB's best single for years is going to be backed by nasty cheesy trance.
Prick up your ears.

Me too. Even the 7" of No Time For Tears would have been better.

Yes, bad indeed...but I still have some hopes...the first source mentioned on the topic (the one listing the U-MYX feature) seems to have good information ;)
This is not my signature.

Ditto! CD2 & DVD.

it's still not on the new official site. is it?

instead of just a DVD single, I'm wondering why EMI aren't doing DualDisc singles like all the Michael Jackson reissues - a DVD side and a CD side, and still chart eligible as well.

Not In Private, but *of course* Fugitive. Way more representative, less cliché and way more fresh sounding.
Yes, but Elton John fans wouldn't buy that. Those who couldn't be bothered buying an entire album for a song (or those keen about to buy both) might buy a single. Are there any Elton John fans? I don't know.
i'm sure there are Elton John fans still, but if EMI really wanted to hook them in with this single then why not put Believe/Song For Guy on as well?

is it being saved for another Duets project? :roll:

If they had to put a Fundamentalism track on the single they should have put the Fugitive Demo on there imo.

If true, disappointing tracklisting. No time for tears??

And good god not Elton again, ruining a perfect track. What next, a duet with robbie williams?? Yuck.

Why are people doubting the validity of the tracklisting?

It is listed on the official site.

On the product section it's listed there :wink:

*edit*
Somebody has mentioned in a thread about being able to buy the Minimal mixes on iTunes; they aren't on yet!
