Heard it when it came out but had to hear the bloody R2 play. Loved it though, so catchy, easy to listen to and with some Nicky bass lines in a la KYE

I didn't really like at first... but now it really has grow a lot. It's a great tune. Can't wait to hear the album. I love the Manics.

I think this poll should be re-done since people have changed their minds from the first listen.

The second CD single is exclusive to Townsend Records, the official Manics webstore.

You can probably cancel your order and re-order at Townsend (£7.50 for all formats I think, with postage).

Edit: have just ordered from Townsend and it comes to £7.49

I'll stick with the Amazon order but try and get the other formats from Townsend.

You don't want to be ordering from Amazon with free P+P unless you don't care about getting it on the release date. On past form Townsend will get it to you on the Saturday before release. (Although for those of you who ordered the single from Townsend at the same time as the album, don't they wait to send out everything together?)

Anyhoo, have the writers of the Steps song brought the fully justified lawsuit against them yet or is it still failing to communicate with the masses after a week?

It'll probably arrive a couple of days after the release date. As long as it arrives I'm not too worried.
