That is very, very kind of you. I will very likely DM you sometime soon!

I noticed this today - I guess it's the end of the previous song, and they have a crossfade. Sounds… interesting … like a bit of Wham! if you ask me.

It’s a sample from That Petrol Emotion’s Song Creeping to the Cross (1987): https://youtu.be/WdSXyhGFv7E?si=UkUI-h-BP8CPbyB_

Which I think is very cool as those guys are from my hometown and I didn’t know about their post-Undertones band.

I think it was played on the Jools Holland performance, so I assume it's on the album version as an intro sample but not on the single edit.

Bit quiet but just wanted to say it'll be next month I'll buy that shirt, cassette and double CD (with signed art print!) next month. Definitely. As we were then!

Like several others stated, it's a bummer the 7" is only shipping within UK only. I'm an avid collector of these and often in the past the b-sides have been real gems! Been getting the LPs on the past few releases, but this time I may just settle for the CD book. I'm a bit tired of everything being bundled. Especially with getting two copies of the album, just with one being the alternate cover. As far as signed stuff, I have so much autographed Manics stuff now I've lost track.
