The cliff that TUVL sales fell off after week one when all the diehard fans had got all the variants they could buy shows this.

It's a typical tactic in the music industry though isn't it? Taylor Swift released more than 30 different variants of one album and placed exclusive songs across some of those variants, and of course her star power far, far, far exceeds what the Manics have. I'd be more tempted to buy every variant to get every individual song available than I would be to just get a variant because it has a unique vinyl colour or cover art.
