nick naysmith is credited for keyboards :scared:

Spillers Twitter comment "Listening to the new Manics album - stock has arrived and fair play - all formats look lush - I fancy a GOLD 2CD version ... !"

That's because me taking a photo is reflected in the shine. It looks better IRL

I thought he was fired or something?

Is it not just that he's not able to tour?

He must have bribed them :P

Not able or not allowed? He must have bought them all a pie.

Naysmith has returned, haha, quality. I'll look for his name in the credits when I get my copy. He's not done anything with the Manics since the solo albums cos he did some keyboard work on those.

What shop? I'll be wandering through the streets of our fine city tomorrow - maybe I can pop in and get myself a lovely shiny copy?

i love the promotion the single gets on the cover of the vinyl

Avalanche. Or LOVEMusic as it seems to be known now.

Ah, thought it would be... Thanks!

Ooh that deluxe looks nice. I hadn't decided whether to get standard or deluxe yet. I don't really care about the demos, so it's all about packaging.
And oh. I've just realised I haven't pre-ordered the new album yet. And it's Thursday night so there's no chance of me getting it for Monday. Oh dear, I wonder if I'll have to HMV it on Monday, I don't know if I'll have time after work though. My head's been like a sieve! So the deluxe has a nice booklet then, I'm well fucking out of the loop!

Actually is it even out on Monday?? If you all have it already? I'm getting confused!

In the North do ye get new albums and singles in stores on Friday like us lot? Or on Monday?

Monday! We contribute to the Brit chart :P I can remember going over to Letterkenny to their local record shop on a Friday to get them when I was younger though! Bet you it's closed down now though.
