Banquet Records have dispatched my white vinyl w/ International Blue, had to get in touch with the live chat for Sandbag who're running the official store these days to update my contact info since there's no way to do that on the order/store site and they said they're dispatching the orders tomorrow.

Sadly Banquet didn't have enough International Blue vinyls to fulfil my bundle. My bundle is bereft. I am seriously lacking in blue bundledom. It was a blue bundle Banquet bungle. But they were very nice about it.

Luckily I found one elsewhere, so it's all worked out ok, and hopefully the official store's bundle will restore my bountiful bundleosity to that which I was hoping for in the first place.

Wondering whether this International Blue 7” is eligible for the physical singles chart. Know they used to have some daft rules back in the 90s about stuff like posters or stickers or whatever making em ineligible. Don’t know whether the bundle thing affects chart eligibility? No idea what other physical singles are out this week but if it is eligible, could they be looking at a number one? Timed it sensibly not having to compete with all the RSD stuff in a couple of weeks.

Ok Morrissey is number one in the physical singles chart today lol

Oh and apparently all you need for a 7” to be chart eligible is to charge more than 50p, have a maximum of three tracks and 25mins.

Ugh Banquet were nice but COME ON. They fucked up the original listing and then didn't even enough. Agreed, they were nice, but this was a total mess.

Obviously my 7" order was cancelled too.

I shared the frustration you express. I was kind of half complimenting them/half criticising them, but I’m not sure it was even their fault entirely.

Did you manage to get the 7inch elsewhere?

Radio X will have a track by track with JDB and NW on the night before release

Quite by Nicky: “I’m not looking forward to playing this song live... it’s hard”

Quite possibly yes.

Could order off Amazon and still get it!

in hindsight, moving house the week this preorder is due was not the smartest of moves.

Just noticed Amazon have cheekily put the price up by £2 for the deluxe version, now listed as £16.99!

Is it stupidly optimistic for me to be hoping to have summat arrive today?
