National Treasures - The Singles Collection Thread

Well i've watched the video before and just watched it again, no spiders that is for sure.

[everlasting]

What, spiders in the ocean spray video? No. Simply put. No. Long shots of James sitting on a bath tub rubbing his face looking bored says everything about that video though.

Well there you are Tracey, you're on your own

The album has dropped a fair bit today to #48 from last weeks #26

I'm gonna watch the vid on youtube.

James' words - 'I hate spiders so I didn't go anywhere near them!'

[The Gutless Wonder]

Wonder if the bit with the spiders was cut at some point? Otherwise why would it have been mentioned in an interview??? Was it another video that I'm getting mixed up with?

(Found That Soul vid maybe?)

Thought NT probably would drop pretty quickly. That doesn't suprise me too much.

The album sold about 6,000 copies last week in UK, total to date: 37,000 more or less.

I've got used to seeing numbers in thousands... so in my head they've sold 37 million ?

I have a vague memory of reading something on here about the filming of the Empty Souls video, and there being mention of spiders and other things like that, none of which made the final cut.

This is starting to freak me out a bit now! I was POSITIVE that there was a very brief clip of some tarantulas in a glass tank in the Ocean Spray vid. I was sure it was in between the bit where Nicky is playing table football (or whatever he's doing! ) and when the camera pans over to Sean. Having watched it, there are definitely no spiders. James mentioned them in an interview so as you say, whether they were going to be included in either that vid or another one and the shot was cut. Maybe James was too scared!

This all being said I was also certain that they all wore WW1/2 gasmasks in the video for Tolerate and that James' shirt was gleaming white - I have an overactive imagination obviously!

I noticed on Amazon a few days ago the 2CD version had gone down from £8.99 to £7.99 and now today it's gone down to £5.99. Hopefully they'll shift a few more copies at this price if all places sell it cheaper

They won't on Amazon if customers heed the warnings of the most recent one-star review on there.

[starstruck]

£5.99?! might fire off a couple of copies as presents to people in the UK at that price, then.

Holding strong at 56 today - perhaps as a result of the price reduction, but the charts tend to stagnate over the next couple of weeks, so hopefully it can retain it's top 75 place for a little longer! One more week and it equals PFAYM's run. Maybe I'll buy another as an Xmas present for someone...
