CJ & The Satellites - '13': Your Views

[madbloke]

This is going to seem kind of dumb, but for those of you who bought this from a real physical shop - what's it filed under? Is it at the very beginning of the 'c' section, does it come after things that start with 'ci', or is it under 's' for satellites?

I ask cos I've been into various HMVs and been unable to find it, and I'm not sure if it's cos they don't stock it, or I'm looking in the wrong places!

You're probably best off trying every variation you can think of. Such are the vagaries of their filing system, that you often find things all over the place

I don't know if the supply shortage has been solved yet, so it might be that they can't get hold of it - have you tried asking for it? Otherwise you might have to go down t'internet route: I got mine from an Amazon Seller for about nine quid.

Got mine from Amazon, but then I forgot that the Japanese releases always have more tracks.. gah.

Are the extra tracks worth the extra money, then?

[Ean]

They're listed as demos (so I assume they'll turn up somewhere else), but yeah, they're pretty good.

I think a couple of 'em are as strong as anything else on the album. And this is why I've just started buying the Japanese version of WH-related stuff from the get-go.

See, now thats just plain wrong. I thought they might have found it more agreeable than the last Wildhearts one, but 2? What miserable summer-hating bastard did they get to review it? Anything else memorable about the review?

[geordierussell]

I'll scan it tomorrow

[Sir Euan]

After listening to it now, I don't like it that much. It's too samey all the way through for me unfortunately.

There are some great tracks here, don't get me wrong, just, theres more on a mini-album/ep's worth in my opinion.

[Sarc]

Anyone else hear the Elvis Costelloness (the Greek impersonator i believe) of it that was the first thing that struck me about the album.

They called CJ a 'former' Wildheart.
The cluless gits.

[Dark Lord of Barnet]

Really hope CJ tours this album (or at least plays a London show)

Water Rats - 30th July! Get there early 'cos there is a great support band too...

[markE]

who? c'mon don't tease - this could finally persuade the missus that it is worth the train journey.

[Trudi]

Planet of Women - no idea who's playing bass or drums for them these days though!

[Mattie]

8/10 in Rock Sound.
Don't have a scanner or the magazine here to type it up.

Not seen it mentioned elsewhere but I could have missed it.
