Maybe an Exclusive Sean interview download could be thrown in with purchases later in the week.

It would be very nice !

If they really want it then just need to do banquet records thing again, would be an easy sale for them.

Just add a UK address and phone number and you can easily buy the download.

The piano version will be interesting! :D

Yo marketing team, how about putting a digital version of the demo's online for a fiver?

Wouldn’t be surprised if similar downloads are unlocked as the week goes on. Must all be part of the plan, if they put it all up on sale on day one people wouldn’t get as many variations

Currently number 1 with Sabrina carpenter 2700 behind

01 Manic Street Preachers - Critical Thinking (2.7k ahead)
02 Sabrina Carpenter - Short n' Sweet
03 The Wombats - Oh! The Ocean
04 PARTYNEXTDOOR & Drake - $ome $exy $ongs
05 Louis Dunford - Be Lucky

YES! What a statement that would be! And bemusing for the casual fans who haven't heard anything the Manics have done since TIMTTMY

Any ideas on total sales so far?

01 Manic Street Preachers - Critical Thinking (19,577) [18,746 physicals, 543 downloads, 288 streaming]
02 Sabrina Carpenter - Short n' Sweet (16,840)
03 The Wombats - Oh! The Ocean (9,046)
04 PARTYNEXTDOOR & Drake - $ome $exy $ongs 4 U (8,422)
05 Louis Dunford - Be Lucky (5,053)

Amazing - thanks!
Probably gonna have to shift another 5k at least

Popcorn for the Piano version yes

So I was the only one who bought the hoodie then?
Well you're missing out and wearing it I'm going to get the tin foils asking me shit.

Aha! So the production of the album still made them think they should do stripped back piano versions!
In a recent interview James even began admitting disappointments with Even In Freakin' Exile!
Altogether for the future then, "We might have overegged the pudding on some Critical Thinking tracks"!

I was able to buy this from Canada without any issues. Even a selection of file types which was a nice surprise.
