Virgin no longer

I must say I'm very excited about all this. If ITYS is, more or less, the albums down time then that bodes very well indeed. Great stuff.

ITYS is not, IMO, the album's down time. It's the last track on side 1, corresponding to the placement of Turn on side 2. It's a crucial track on the album, really much more about Sirens than the title track. (Track 11 is side 3).

I don't know what modern version of a record you have there Patrick but it seems to have more sides than a sphere.

I received my album very recently (following some excellent sleuthing from Old Brown) and am about to post my reactions.

I am delighted to hear both of those things, H. My eagerness to hear your thoughts is just about unbearable.

Huntsman, my invoice to cover consultancy fee (including commission) will be with you soon.

Bluey - I'll pay it!

Guess what though? ... when I ventured to the postal office to collect my winnings (of course, they 'did' deliver in a day and I was thus out!) they were presented in a 12" box ... because there was a 12" in the box!

All of those young lovers seeking out the '3' CD's for sale may be looking for some time as '1' of the CD's is in actual fact a 12" record.

Just to set the record straight.

But Bluey - thanks!

I still haven't heard the album yet. I'm waiting for it to come out in the US, although I can't listen to it in the computer lab here. I guess I'll have to be a virgin for a month or so.
