There’s one great reissue yet to be seen…

The Great Western 20

Indeed. Followed by a massive goodbye gig in Wembley. In 2027 a live album and documentary of this gig. And probably a reunion in 2028, reinventing themselves in what will be known as "a very very last shot at mass communication".

I killed the Zeitgeist as well, ya cheeky bollix

Did anyone figure out a way to get that 7” outside of the UK?

Anyone knows what the sample at the intro of Decline & Fall was in their Jools performance?

I saw people elsewhere mention it, it's 'Creeping To The Cross' by That Petrol Emotion.

Although there is some extra little (CR-78 ?) beat going on top, dunno if they added that from somewhere else or it's off a remix or something.

Might be waiting another 20 years judging by my experience of Great Western....

We can but dream.
I’d have it in my top 3 Manics / solo albums.

Critical Thinking Picture Disc is now available on Amazon UK:

Lifeblood is my joint favourite Manics album alongside TGW. People think I'm probably mad but I've held the same view for nearly 20 years so it's hardly trolling!

It’s an underrated gem and the gigs were fantastic as well.

If you figure this out, please let me know.

Shippn/Reship has helped me in the past

cheers, will look into that

I really wouldn't mind ordering it for you and sending it across, if that would help. Easy enough to pay me via PayPal. Or, depending on where you are in Van, I'll be over there in April 😄
