Decide is a well-named track. I am yet to decide whether or not I'm willing to fork out £13 (inc. P&P) for the benefit of ONE song. It's kind of ridiculous isn't it? Anyone else yet to make their mind up?

Last post

Would the Vinyl Factory release of 'The Most Incredible Thing' with the exclusive demos not be more expensive per track?

Did that have demos? Well, take the overall price and divide by the number of exclusive tracks and that's your golden number.

So according to the highest daily Youtube performing PSB song is It's A Sin (53000 views) and this is rougply equal to 353 sales units. 7*353 = appr. 2500 sales units weekly. Add figures from other streamlining channels. Isn't it at least to be on top 200? (It sometimes reaches 75000 views a day).

Hello everybody,

this is it - the inevitable Dreamland Tour Setlist thread. This time around, thinking of a potential setlist is slightly easier though, because we know that the boys are only going to play songs that were released as singles.

So in this thread I'm asking you to come up with a...

This image was placed next to the release date information for the new album on iTunes earlier today. It has since been removed. Could just as well be a promo photo..

Ditch the title and it's a beautiful piece of art.

I didn't like the album title at first but, Hot Spot may mean a place of entertainment! :up:

First post

Am I missing something, or is there totally no point in pre-ordering Hotspot CD/Vinyl (let alone digital), nor at least say 1 week before the release date (so that it gets actually shipped on the date and not later)?

IMO, pre-ordering would make sense if:

There was a risk of running out of...

Last post

I thought the same thing this week, with all the hullabaloo about preordering Deacon Blue's new album being the only way you could get access to presale for the tour. Other bands do allow you a teaser track sometimes but it just seems a 2019 thing to do, along with presale, its retail companies...

I have done the same, although with the video edit of Vocal (can’t remember now why I chose this over the radio edit), and I did go with Stupidity because I prefer it.

Been a long term fan myself ,right from the beginning in fact, but things like timescales escape me9

Every so often they release something that just blows you away on first listen. Think Can you forgive her?, A red letter day, Leaving, and Vocal. An Open Mind is the latest example. Sadly, for reasons best known to themselves - and I'll speculate wildly that Chris wielded the veto - this one will...

An Open Mind is the kind of gift they give longtime followers, and I'm pleased they are still giving us tunes of this quality on EPs.
I actually think Dreamland is stronger as a single, but for what it is, as a longtime fan An Open Mind is the latest in their superb b-sides.

Yeah I still prefer...
