Somebody's messing about with the track lists again.

Although I must admit, some of the fake ones sound better than the official!

"Panther Footprints" :lol:

"Don't Be Evil"? I bet it's about Google. ;)

Looks like we have a new tradition: Track 1 as the first single / focus track! (it began with JFPL - Peeled Apples was the first 'single' played off the album).

surely it began with kye, seeing as "found that soul" was the first single, well one of them.

I'm pretty sure KYE was introduced with SWSS, FTS came a bit later, the singles may have been released on the same date but all the radio stations I know (plus MTV) played SWSS before FTS.

yeah, that's true, i suppose.
though i didn't hear "found that soul" until i bought it.

oh well.

3 albums.

:eh: i seem to recall the radio edit of Jackie Collins was the first thing to be played on the radio from Journal?

No, it was Peeled Apples. Collins was the chosen radio "single", but PA got the honours of being the first taste of the album as Zane Lowe's HOTTAST REKAAWWRD OF THA WAAAAAALRD.

Defo a DVD then with CD.

I can't wait to find out what the DVD will have on it. Maybe rehearsal/recording footage or videos by Patrick Jones or better still a live recording of one of the roundhouse shows from the JFPL tour but it's unlikely as it has no relation to the new album.

As soon as I heard about the launch, I thought it'd be recorded for release. Many bands release live DVDs along with their albums and there's no point doing a launch if they're not going to play most of the album . . . so I think to get live recordings is the reason why they're doing it. There's probably enough time between the launch and the release date to whip a short edit together of six or seven songs.

I said a bit back they should film the launch gig and put it as a DVD with the new album. Bit weird though cos I read the bonus disc was going to be demos and then live tracks. Now a DVD. What next? :P

might come with 3 discs?
