Album 14

[Tim]

They're really pinching out these bundles eh?
It feels like the good old days around here, a momentary lease of life and then back into hibernation after the great chart battle reprise of 2021.
Even erstwhile members making an appearance, what a time to be alive.

Ay up, Nicky’s not done yet. Signed Polaroids!

+ deluxe edition CD + download + t-shirt for £20.

Even I can’t resist this one. It’s time to punish Steps for their insolence!

Never ever preorder any album ever again.

Well, I was going to buy that t-shirt anyway and I can sell my extra deluxe copy so it's a great deal really (this is what I'm am telling myself anyway)

Good lord this month has been expensive and I haven't even paid for my Cardiff hotel yet...

Ok this one got me too! And all this is free postage after the extortionate shipping prices for the pre-orders!

Do you think because it comes with the CD and the download they can count this as two album purchases?

That £20 t-shirt and deluxe cd offer is really great. Even though I have the deluxe CD I might buy it and then give it to my brother as a Chritmas gift

When can we expect a chart update today? I’ll probably get the t shirt deal if they’re still in the race.

Any figures floating around off sales this week?

If you get a number 1 by the same people buying multiple copies, have you really won?

Yes it will be two sales. Steps won’t know what hit them.

The Polaroid and T-shirt are available separately on the shop also

I'd imagine the Official Chart website will keep things under wraps now. Their countdown suggests we find out at 5:45 tomorrow

Hats of to Nicky for digging the tshirt and Polaroid bundle out. His signing hand must be killing

If they were really smart they'd have made the T-shirt out of a reconstituted copy of the album, and inserted an album download QR code into the pixels of the polaroid. 4 copies!

There I was thinking the t-shirt would be at least £20 on its own and they're selling it for £5??? Even in the 90s official tees were at least a tenner! How bizarre.

Halcyon days!

How long until we get - The Ultra Vivid Lament - Kitchen Sink Edition

I'm from Italy, so I thought I would buy my copy here, as I did since I knew them (SATT). But it seems that in Italy the single cd version does not exist, not even on Amazon Italy, and I want it because my "record collection space" only allowes standard cd editions (not "dvd cases"), so I bought it on Amazon UK. It did not arrive yet, and I did not listened to it elsewhere (it's some kind of a ritual, unpacking the cd, putting in the cd player, etc.), but now I am happier because I'm helping them getting to No 1.
Just for information: single cd + shipping to Italy is about £ 14, on the official store it was twice that.
