April 5th I reckon

And yeah I too hope for 2 new b sides with the single … the remix of blitz and dudes can sit on a separate release
you could say conventional ... and I could claim intentional

I strongly hope that the b-sides include a studio version of ALL THE YOUNG DUDES :mrgreen:

I like Party in the Blitz, but it's already been a b-side on the current single. Maybe they'll put it on an extra disc...

I'd speculate this Superchumbo remix will come on the remix package for that second single, instead of it being the b-side. But what is more disappointing to me is that there are probably no Loneliness remixes to be released, then, if the second single is coming soon already. That would make it only the second single in their carreer not to have any official remixes, I believe, after I Get Along. But heck, if they decided to not spend on remixers in order to finance the second music video, I'm all for it! The theater setting for it looks beautiful.
Numb and Burning the heather never got a remix either.

Honestly I can live without "...Dudes" ever seeing the light of day again. It was kind of cringeworthy. Maybe a studio recording would improve it, but I think it was a poor choice for a PSB Bowie cover.

They say "Never meet your heroes" but maybe there should be a "Never cover your heroes songs" rule too.

Superchumbo is a mixed bag - there are some highlights and lowlights on that one album he did with Neil on it. I preferred the DJ Fresh collab and "...Planet Monday". I bought all the subsequent DJ Fresh albums, which is not the case for Superchumbo.

Superchumbo has a bad rep around here - for good reason, in my view - but didn't he also do a rather excellent mix of Up and Down back in 2009?

So we´ll be getting the same b-side (in a remixed form, but the same song) in two different official UK singles? I think that never happened before...

Well, I'm not sure it's quite as weird as Did you see me coming? being the second single from Yes in June 2009 - nearly three months after appearing on Story: 25 Years of Hits, given away free in a Sunday newspaper...

Yes, that was very good imho. But that one album was mostly dreck.

It was a particularly awful newspaper, to be fair.

At this stage, I'd be content with one more proper b-side. The alarm bells started to go off when Superchumbo popped up again "after many years." Maybe Neil saw him on an elevated train...

Would it be too much to ask for E-Smoove next time?

Loneliness. The bit at the fairground. I don’t think the photo of him in silhouette is a still from the actual video but it’s clearly the same location (just in colour rather than shot in b/w).

He’s not wearing a hat in the video (IIRC) whereas he is in the photo but I think hats can usually be applied/removed without major difficulty.
