or maybe - and that'd be the best one: Nicky doesn't appear on the track and hasn't heard it yet

That really is the best artwork I've seen for their singles in a while! I think it looks better than the Faster/PCP cover and possibly best cover so far?
Also delighted there's an instrumental on the CD single as I never got the 7".
There's no time limit on ordering from the site, so I'll look at it again in a few weeks.
Things really are looking up for the band aren't they? I don't think I can remember this tension and interest like this for an album? (I only got internet around FD time.)
The interest is different than JFPL as Peeled Apples had been played and was better recieved than INWJTEOL?
I see the interest here as "Can they actually get to EMG profile again?" and then the cover of the single and Michael Sheen in the video ask "Do you really wanna ask that?"

I like the artwork, much more colourful than I was expecting for some reason. Have ordered the 3 format bundle too.

Though not their best, I think it's their most coherent and thoughtful design since THB era which was their peak in the artwork territory.

Just gotta love the hidden references on the stamps, someone mentioned Lifeblood, I just discovered Faster/PCP (look out for the Mao stamp)!

Let's not forget that CD1/2/7" artwork will likely not be the same, looking forward to more clever stamps!

for the single to count for the first week chart rundown which will be sunday 19th September ..you need to order it between now and the 18th. Anything you order from the 19th onwards will count towards the following week.

For the album you need to order it between now and Saturday 25th September for it to count for the first week

Love the artwork, but really wish no-one had pointed out that hyphen!

Maybe Distraction is a silent track, accidentally recorded while the boys were staring into the middle distance thinking about chips.

And now we have a tweet describing Distraction(s); they're definitely reading.
