Matt - you are on my wavelength here. Totally agree with all of these. For All Of Us especially - that demo that was released on their website for a short while back in the late 90s still gives me shivers.

Pretty sure that's a full studio version. Fantastic track.

No

Even if, at one point, (if I remember well) they were close to release it as one-off single.

"Positive role model", along with "Somebody else's business", was one of candidates for planned but nonmaterialized 2000's Greatest Hits compilation, I think. Therefore they played it at Glastonbury and on 2000 festival tour, but it sounded quite weak and unfinished at the time.

Greetings,

Yes. Not as bad as In Private (with Elton) would have been, but nearly as cringy.

Retro.

Personally I think it's placeholder tracklist... because, I mean, where's the exclusiveness of this CDS then?

And release date 21 April.
This date was supposed to be as reissues release date...

According to that the 12" has an exclusive 4th track which is Undertow (Tuff city kids dub) so will make it worth buying at least, not that I wouldn't have anyway to be honest.

If this 12" ends up being an RSD only release, i will personally mail the boys a box of my sh1t.

Try and squeeze it into an envelope so you can save on postage.

Hol' up, hol' up.... I'm the one around here that makes broad negative proclamations about PSB!

I guess we can relax now.

Record Store Day - Only some stores in London (+other UK cities?) will sell it.
Which means us from rest of the world will only have a chance to catch it from Ebay or if we have friends living near a store.
