To the staff on the floor who arent into the Wildhearts it would have just seemed like another new release, and as such gone out with the rest of that week's releases. Unfortunately it was my job to put it out in our store, and they knew that I would know it was early, so i would have got a massive bollocking for letting it slip out. The Newcastle store sold a few too, not sure if they've pulled it yet. From my point of view, it seems odd that Cargo would distribute it so early.

Don't worry if you haven't got it tho, it's worth the wait!


So do you know if all these pre release sales count towards the charts?

Possibly not, although bear in mind their last album reached the mid fifties. The important thing is getting it out there, people knowing about it, and getting more and more people to buy it over time. It isn't, frankly, going to challenge Arctic Monkeys for number one next week. Which is a pity, although I'm not slagging off Arctic Monkeys as I love 'em to bits.

Unfortunately the early HMV sales will definitely NOT be added to next week's sales. They'll appear as a blip on this week's chart (way way down into the 1000's probably). They're gone. Blame HMV.

Lots of people seem to have commented that HMV have obviously had a directive issued to stop selling the album this week. Here in York the album has disappeared from the "new releases" section at the front of the shop, but can still be found hidden away in the A-Z section.

Useless sods.

Oh yeah and how come The Wildhearts appear in HMV's Rock & Pop section and not their Metal one, when the likes of Thunder are in Metal? Crap classification by someone who doesn't know their arse from their elbow, or what?

Having said that, not too sure whether The Wildhearts should be moved to metal, or Thunder moved back into Rock & Pop...

Just got an email from Cargo saying the album was shipped today. I absolutely cannot wait to hear it. I can't remember the last time I was so excited about an album release!

Does anyone have any idea when I'm likely to get it? Never bought anything through Cargo before.

Cheers.

Right, that's it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed until tommorow morning. Eating dinner could prove problematic...but fuck it... it's worth it!
