Well done for spotting the deliberate mistake. You win a pencil.
Thursday wasn’t released on 12” either was it?

Yeah was disappointed there were no 12" releases during the Nonetheless campaign, as those are really the primary PSB item I've collected over the years. I'd have happily traded the one zillion vinyl versions of the album for some juicy double or gatefold sleeved 12" singles.

Thanks for the info. I never knew this existed. Can’t find a copy anywhere - not even on eBay. Rarer than rocking horse shit.

Yep, agree completely. I hope it’s not a permanent decision to not release 12” singles in the future!

Helpful tip, searching things by barcode rather than catalogue numbers does wonders for me.
e.g. The barcode for the 12'' above is
5060186921006

The bizarre thing is that the vinyl singles from the X2 era are generally quite a bit cheaper than the cd singles. I've recently been trying to play catch-up with the Electric and Super cd singles on eBay and the only one remotely affordable was 20-Something. Vocal is unobtainable and Bourgeois extortionate.

Slight tangent but there are thousands upon thousands of vinyl singles/albums in all the charity shops and car boots
