It makes me sad too, but it is what it is.

Try demo versions, it helps.

This joke might not stick, but at least you get three versions of International Blue, Takk.

Often wondered what chance they'd have had if they were starting today. Course when Richey was writing letters and sending out demos and shit, it was a different world to today when anybody can send a link to anybody, most of which'll no doubt get ignored with the volume being much more now than it could've been then. They're quite an unfashionable bunch, think more so now too. Probably partly me being old too, I'm well out of touch but I just can't see where the 1990 Manics would fit in today. Not that they ever really did fit in, think they'd probably be more outsider than they were then.

I might just replace every track with International Blue, I could easily listen to that over and over .

Not sure about that - i can think of sort of similar bands that have had great label support on their debuts.

But didn't GT cost £250k just to record? I couldn't imagine a new band having that much spent on them today...
I think much of the reason why the Manics are still going is the fact they have their own studio and in-house engineers reducing the upfront cost the publishers have to put forward for other bands.

All the 'what would they be like/do if they were starting today' hypotheticals are kind of impossible to solve, the band would be different to start with so they wouldn't be the same band anyway. It's like saying what would 1986 be like if it happened in 2018? What does the question even mean? It's like the Uncertainty Principle, merely asking the question means you can't be sure of the answer.

Just checking the album charts for this time in 1992, Right Said Fred were number one, been trying to find out but no joy, dunno how many copies that had to shift to get to number one in 1992. Few more than Greatest Showman, I'd expect.. Quote:

Nope. Tried to listen to it again earlier but can't even get through it. I have no interest in this band when they're in mass communication mode. Postcards and SATT are not great but both are a lot better than this.

Oh, sure, didn't mean to come across as too critical, don't mind me - I just find it fun thinking about the thinking about it too.

I wonder, if they were starting out now, how much different if at all their influenecs would be than if they were starting out. I mean, obviously everything they were influenced by then would still exist, but different time, different place is going to have an effect on your perception of the world and what makes you tick eh? Maybe they wouldn't have been as angry and alienated growing up in the mid 90s as the mid 80s. Maybe they wouldn't have heard London Calling if they weren't arond to see it coming out. What if they did have xboxes and computers? Maybe, maybe, maybe, what if, what if, what if...
