I was expecting my LP to arrive today as everyone seems to be getting theirs, instead I got this rather nice letter from those lovely people at 'Great' magazines:


'Thank you for recent(!!!!) purchase of Q Manic Street Preachers Vinyl edition.

Due to an unprecented response to this truly exclusive offer, it is with huge regret that we have now run out of stock and are unable to fulfil your order request. We will therefore be arranging for you to receive a full refund to your credit card within the next two weeks which should appear on your next statement.

However, the good news is because we understand how important this purchase was to you, we have secured an additional order of this special vinyl. This is due into us on 20th December 2011, and as our way of apologising, we will send you a copy as soon as it is available, completely free of charge.

Thank you for your patience.'

Wouldn't mind, but I didn't even complain!

The vinyl is lovely, and while the issue looks beautiful, it's content is pure shit isn't it?
With everything in their archives, all of the musical landmarks that Q have covered in the last 25 years and all of the excellent artists that they clearly have at their disposal, was getting a load of bands to all more or less say "I like Nirvana and I bought a Michael Jackson album once" really the best they could do?
Utter shit.

It was nice to see an issue of Q without a shit load of people wanking all over U2 for a change though. That was in this month’s issue, of course it was, but still.... The free CD with people covering Achtung Baby is very good however, in all fairness.

Patti Smith's cover of Until The End of the World is amazing. Depeche Mode's So Cruel is brill too.

the whole thing is fucking amazing. i had a major wank over it over on my blog, we had a mini-group wank over it over on the currently listening to.... thread when it came out, so to speak.

often these "cover the album" things are hit and miss ("Smiths Is Dead" springs to mind), but this one is magnificent.

i'm not sure if there will ever be the grounds for Q or all that many significant artists to get a big massive erection over the idea of doing the same to a Manics album, but you never know.

That's nuts. They've got none but are sending you one anyway. Seems like something of a lottery as to who gets a letter like that. I kicked off a lot, got reimbursement off the bank, but nothing like this. Gah!

Great sig BTW!

I've just rung them now, as I've had two e-mails go unanswered over the past week. The woman I spoke to said there were none left in stock, at which point I cut in and said I just wanted a refund as this has gone on so long now. She then said she had to "ask permission" if she could issue a refund (?!), I was put on hold for a few minutes and then told I should receive a refund within 28 days. I asked if I'd get written confirmation of this and she said I should, but then I don't really believe anything they say at this point.

There are still 5 copies in Whsmiths in Middlesbrough, as of this morning.
