Also...sorry if this is old news/I'm dense, is Vita Spalding (credited on a lot of photography) a pseudonym?

My CD single arrived Friday in perfect condition. Try to avoid bonus tracks on tinny streaming services until receipt of physical product as settling down to listen in full, in proper quality, and intently to a new single is something I find a really pleasurable experience. This is the strongest single of the three. Love both the old tracks redone as b-sides. Lyrically a bit clumsy compared to today's polish but lovely throwbacks. The radio edit of a simply gorgeous track works well, and love the demo. I even like the remix given very underwhelmed with all the ones from the first two singles. Not as forced as the others, although its still a bit of a shock to try and make a dance track out of any ballad, rather this deserves a simple, old fashioned extended 12" mix with a instrumental bits inserted to stretch, and which would have been in keeping with the 1980's origins of the bonus tracks IMO.

Yeah, really crying out for a Jealousy or This must be the place… style extension (the full 9 minutes, please) - really amp up that sumptuous atmosphere. I’ve given up way too much time attempting to figure out why the Metric fella was trying to bludgeon a square peg into a round hole…

As for the “did your sleeve arrive creased?” question: Yes….yes it did….ffs

Anyone under the illusion this might creep into the official UK Top 100? It'll be number one on the physical charts no question but the actual chart thats dominated by streaming farms getting their act to the top? I'd be happy with a number 98 "smash".
