Album 14

[Dancing Kirby]

That’s the response from Nicky we were waiting for. A matinee performance!

I’ve only bought the standard CD. It’s more than enough. However, I would be willing to buy the Amazon yellow vinyl just to piss Steps off if it drops to £12.49.

The ball is in your court, Nicky. Get on the phone to Jeff Bezos and see what you can work out.

I bought the Amazon vinyl and it came in the most* ludicrously bad packaging for a vinyl I’ve ever received. Literally a brown paper (not card) envelope. Let’s hope that is not what it really takes for the Manics to hold on to no.1.

*technically I’m going to say 2nd-most ludicrous but that is an off-topic, longer story for a different time.

Are they both on the same day?

Make no mistake; there’s only one reason those tickets are going on sale tonight

Yes, one at 5.30 and one at 8.30. A double-Manics night out!

Nicky just posted on Instagram to say they’re rehearing Afterending and Sapporo

Ok, already have tickets for the second one so may as well watch the first one as well!

Just wondering, where are the sales figures coming from? The charts site just seems to show mostly chart placements

This was the trigger I needed - bought. Good luck to 'em.

I've found myself less working from home this morning, and more begging on social media to get people to buy more TUVL. If I get sacked, but they reach no. 1, it'll have been worth it

Haha that's quite funny, them adding two little shows with a q&a making fans buy another album, but I guess it will help. I'd like to go but too far for me to go for such a short thing. If the yellow vinyl went down to half price on Amazon I'd buy it!

There seems to be some sort of logistics issue with the yellow vinyl so I don’t think they want to make it any cheaper than it is. Still waiting for mine

[someone, somewhere, soon]

Offhand thought; in much the same way they used the success of SATT to justify the release of JFPL, I wonder if they’re pushing for TUVL’s success to justify the KYE reissue? Obviously it’s done and next in line regardless, but it gives them that easy PR line again, doesn’t it?

Steps just released a new 5-day anniversary edition of their album with 20 bonus tracks.

Fine, they win. Now we can get back to the important business of slagging off TUVL.
