'THE NEW FLESH': OUT NOW! - THOUGHTS ON THE B-SiDES?

[Rancidpunk_76]

Does anyone know if the new single will be sold at the warm-up gigs this week? I'd prefer to pick it up at the gig in Swindon than mess around with all this online malarkey.

Anyone else tried to buy it and failed miserably?

Went into HMV Croydon yesterday and couldn't even find the 'Singles' section
so got a bit narked and just decided to go home and order the CD & 7" from Cargo, and download 'Unbroken' on i-tunes.. after downloading the radio edit of 'New Flesh' first, because of a mix-up in the song titles.

Sorry HMV, but if i can't walk in and find what i want, then i'm off.

bit of a shit experience all round really, but at least i got to hear 'Unbroken' which is a blinding track.

Man, just ask the staff, the single sections in HMV are rather small so it can easily be missed, they tend to have a turntable to check out vynils before you buy by them, look for that.

[DangerousBeans]

Just to pile on the misery for anyone not getting the single in HMV stores...a postal strike on Thursday Friday Monday and Tuesday should delay us getting the single for about another week.

[Scabbie]

tired HMV Reading, to no avail.

[AllThoseWastedYears]

Just downloaded "Unbroken" from Amazon - is it just me or are the vocals REALLY low on this track?

I'm going to buy the single eventually, just wanted to hear this song now and support the band!

All this talk about wasted journeys to HMV's to see if they have it - can't you just phone them first to make sure? That's what I did.

One in stock (Brighton HMV) which I have reserved and will be collecting today. £2.99.

[pglove]

That's the CD by the way - none of the vinyl .

nothing against the staff, those guys are always cool.
i just cant 'do' shops, always get wound up. , could have bought 100s of things i didn't want, too many signs/sales/impulse buy stuff. just assumed i could walk in, pick up a single, ta-daaa, job done.
i guess it was my little strop about not seeing a big 'Singles' section like there used to be.. i'm over it now
and Cargo should deliver this week.

i will be doing all my Xmas shopping online to avoid shopping in Croydon

Got mine in Spillers Records Cardiff on release day, they always have Wildhearts/Ginger stuff in day of release shame Council cunts are trying to close it down anybody nearby should really sign thier petition best damn independent record shop in the country imho.
Out of interest I paid more for the 7" than the Cd, guy behind the counter told me it was limited to 1000 copies only anybody know if this is true?

That's the word - only 1,000 pressed.

Now, I've seen conflicting reports. Is "Oh Bonita" or "So The Spencers.." the 3rd track on the UK CD single?

[pinnick]

The vocals are so low in the mix that I can't get into the song. The music's great and I can tell the song would be catchy if I could just hear the DAMN VOCALS!

How 'bout releasing a remix, Ginger?!?!?!?!?!?

[JSayonara]

the 2 b-sides on the new flesh are Unbroken and Oh Bonita on both the 7" and the CD no sign of Spencers, speaking of which has anybody got it so I can have a listen I've heard it's a bit of a throwaway track and I don't fancy buying the Jap import for just one song Black Leather Mojo cost me about £30 squid not that I'm complaining mind though I did manage to get Tokyo Suits Me with Obi strip for £2.99 in a bargain bin! Cheers all.

HMV has sent me an e-mail saying the one I ordered has been despatched, but yes, it could be a week or more before it arrives with the current postal shenanigans.

I also got another e-mail advising that the one I'd forgotten I ordered ages ago is on the way too. Ooops. Still, I know someone who'd like one.

I hear that! I haven't gotten around to ordering the single yet (I will when I get paid) - but I bought Unbroken from Amazon's new MP3 service and thought that my download was messed up since I couldn't hear the vocals at all!

[Ean]

So it would appear that (barring it being a balls-up) there are three B-sides on this release, with one being a download only...?

You can get Spencers from iTunes for 79p.
