Yes, it came out with the NME a week or two before release. They did the same for Dog Man Star by Suede.

They seem to be plentiful on eBay these days. I have a spare if anybody wants one.

First 5 tracks I think, about a minute from each, I really like it and they're pretty common on eBay.

thanks for the info!

it seems to be listed as both a flexi and a 7". was a 7" ever actually cut of it, or are some sellers being cheeky with their 7" flexi?

I've only ever seen a 7" flexi disc. I bet quite a few ebayers aren't accurate with their descriptions which might make it look like it's a proper 7"

There must be thousands out there, I wouldn't pay more than a quid or two for it.

Just the flexi. This is the issue of the NME it came with. it was cellotaped to the front cover.

i can think of no practial reason for owning it, but i really think i want one of those flexidiscs. it just looks class in that cover.

i wonder if it ever crossed the mind of the band to go with a black cover / subdued white or greyish font for the album cover itself? i mean, it looks really smart on that flexidisc and the cover, but i suppose if they had done it at the time it would have drawn (rather lazy) Spinal Tap / Metallica comments.

Black looks a bit cheap and shows up case marks and scratches i think, I think the real is better.

i have no problem at all with the stark, striking cover that was released; just wondered if they ever tinkered with a "black album" as it were. if they were ever going to do a plain cover, it would surely have been for this or JFPL
