[wildsam6o]

Vol 1 - more to come?

Yes, i was there at the rocording sessions when they recorded in birmingham. and they recorded loads more songs than this.

rich was saying they did and iggy and the stooges cover, so im guessing they will do 2




anybody got any idea of pricef this?

[Lord Iffy Boatrace]

ive not heard any of these songs before, ive hardly even heard of the bands tbh so this could be like a brand new wildhearts album for me lol

Well tracks will be 79p on iTunes, and probably about 8 quid for the whole album (saves you about £1.50).

OTOH, if you sign up to eMusic and get it using your 25 free introductory downloads and then cancel your account, you'll get it for nothing. And the band will still get paid.

...the covers album, will be a 12 song download initially, then released as a 15 track CD in the summer.

Just so you know.

I knew I'd read it somewhere.............

"Stop Us.." Update..


For all those that have asked..

The Wildhearts WILL be releasing "Stop Us If You’ve Heard This One Before" Vol. 1 on CD in the UK, Europe & Japan during the summer.

The artwork is currently being worked on, and an official release date hasn't been set, but is expected to be confirmed in the coming weeks. As soon as we know the date we will of course let you know.

Thanks

Nice one for the info Ean. Thats great news. Some of my mates who are WH fans don't have computers and wouldn't be able to download it. So the fact they/I can buy it on cd is good.

[johnnywashngo]

Does anybody know when the actualy shiny silver disc version will be coming out?

I really don't get on with crappy mp3 downloads of music, prefering to rip my music collection into a lossless format to preserve the sound quality. When it comes to my favourite bad, anything else is unacceptable.

They should do what Trent did with the last NIN effort - offer it in flac for those amoungst us with working eardrums.

[burgerrock]

Their myspace have said 'Summer' with a confirmed date to be announced in the coming weeks.

Ean has put the blog above ^

they are going to preview tracks on myspace - slight problem in that i can never hear anything on myspace on my computer - what am i doing wrong?


also looks like a good range of tracks - pleased to see they haven't gone down the usual road of doing karoake classics.

Karaoke classics? You mean like UB40s Red Red Wine, Infact as much as I hate that band I'd quite like to hear Red Red Wine covered by our boys followed up by Making Your Mind Up by Bucks FIzz and Save Your Love by Rene and Renatto who, for trivia fans out there, now runs a restaraunt in the Midlands somewhere

To save veering wildly off topic, I've bunged a reply thread to this in the Cloakroom.

[gimme]

Anyone seen the Tracklist?


Theyve done Waiting Room by Fugazi which is my all time favorite song





I am a patient boy, I wait i wait i wait, MY TIME IS WATER DOWN THE DRAIN!!!!!!

[kriscoverdale]

will this be a download only album or will it get a physical release ?

A very good question. Anyone?

"be available exclusively to download WORLDWIDE from all major (and not so major) digital stores."

AFAIK this a digital only release

Cheers
Kris

I thought that I'd read here that the 12 track version will be a digital only followed by a 15 track regular CD release.

As has now been posted higher in this thread, I've done some further checking and there looks like there will be a CD release for UK, Europe and Japan in the summer.

Cheers

I loved Baby Chaos, they were just awesome. Really good songs, with a bitter twist to them. In fact I'm going to go off and listen to some now. I still need to buy that Deckard album. I've not heard it but I'll get it anyway on the strength of their other stuff I think it's unlikely to disappoint.

Actually, Deckard did 2 LPs, although Stereodreamscene* is so hard to find it may as well not exist. Dreams of Dynamite & Divinity is ace though. Union of Knives are great too although its more house-y than BC/Deckard by a long way.

Really looking forward to his - Ice Hockey Hair, Rocket 69, Rearrange You & Waiting Room are already among my favourite tunes so my favourite band covering them...


* If anyone can help me out with this one I'll pay them handsomely in swaps - I've had bugger all luck finding it, even on eBay.
