Hopefully something signed will make a few people buy the single and good promotion (Like SKON got cos let's face it, the promotion that got mamaged to help push the album another 15,000 units!). Make a good video that people will be keen to watch and that'll get more people interested. Simple. Yay. Last decent video that got any decent showing was YLAINE.
I disagree slightly, with the bundles and signed things, their aiming specifically a manics hardcore fans who would buy any format of the single anyway. Not saying that doing that is a bad thing, but they need to aim for something similarly rewarding to casual fans who don't care for all that side of it as well. It's not casual fans vs hardcore fans, as theire stupid two sides of the band thing seems to suggest, they need to forget that and think about the other few hundred thousand people that don't fit into those categories as well.

PFAYM (album) seems to have done ok, I'm glad the title track is going to be a single, looking forward to more b-sides.
