Just looked & cant find it amongst the 400 'I'm with stupid' options.
Strikes me, lookin at the itunes chart & the mass of options for the single that someone may have f*** up in the formatting strategy. Sure this all couldve been much simpler.

excellent - this is the one i've been waiting for, based on the comments off other posters; all the others seem a bit, well, lame....

A remix EP issued next Monday would have done the trick.

I've been wondering if the messed up formats has hindered their chart position.

Normally all the tracks are on one or two iTunes 'albums' but every track is completely seperate for this single.

Very confusing.

It wouldnt be a proper PSB release without some form of c*** up!

Thing is that if there is a single featuring let's say 5 mixes of a song in iTunes, someone buying this single counts as just 1 sale.

However, if the mixes featured in that same single were bought separately, each one of them would count as 1 sale: 5 sales.

It's pretty obvious that PSB have tried to get profit of these weird chart rules by not selling them in a pack.

what is the bitrate??? I downloaded another mix and it was at 128k - sounded awful! I wouldn't even consider buying anything under 192k!!!

does anyone know a 192 source for the maxi mix? The one I have now is recorded from vinyl and skips in several parts.

It's on the Japanese version of Fundamentalism so just buy that instead of the domestic one. Or if you wait another week or so rips from the six-track promos will be all over the torrents, if they're not already.

by far the best mix!

Yes, it's the best mix for me too. I still miss the days of genuine PSB extended mixes, though . . . . . . the poetry and atmosphere of the Jealousy extended mix, the fabulous bit just after the middle-8 of the It's a Sin 12" . . . . . . . PSB always managed to pull something out of the hat in their extended mixes, something that added to the single version.
