I ordered mine two weeks ago from HMV, and this morning sat behind my front door, waiting for mr postman to deliver my 7" singles.
Well, he's come and gone, and there's no singles 
I've been on their website, and it definitely says today.
So, does HMV have a problem with me, or is it the same with everyone else???
I ordered mine form there too and usually i get an E-mail on a friday saying what i've pre ordered has been despatched and its in my hand on Monday morning, but i got no E-mail on Friday so am waiting for one at some point today.
When they did that elvis Singles run some wouldn't turn up till thursday or Friday even thought they we're released on a monday
I only managed to get my grubby little mitts on two of the three sevens (Temptation and EGG remix versions. No BLT - bah) during a late lunchtime wander around HMV, Sister Ray and Selectadisc on Oxford and Berwick Streets in London.
Maybe there's been a problem with the third version...?
Guess it's possible that canny investors got there before me and snapped the whole lot up and are set to make a mint on eBay...
Anyone else failed to complete their hat-trick?
None here at PLANET ROCKET either.So they should fit well in the SLIPCASE that hasn't arrived aswell.I too had ordered them from HMV.Still at least we don't have to listen to them YET!:D Regards ROCKET MICK
just checked on HMV and it says my order is complete so i'm half way there, just need my slipcase now
Call me old fashioned, but I walked into HMV, picked up the three singles, paid for them and walked out.

You are old fashioned. Well so am I as I did that today; HMV and Virgin had all 3 for 99p each. Nice!
Can anyone yousend the MP3's?? I hate to sound cheap but I havn't had a turntable in 12 years, The Songs are not available on Itunes-US and I am dying to hear them! lot's of thanks! martin
Just checked my email, after asking HMV what was going on, and they dispached them today 
Have to wait to see if the Royal mail managed to post them to the right address now!
Looks like I'm sitting behind my letterbox again in the morning...

H-M-V (H-M-V) You are so good for me!
Just got an email from HMV.They have shipped 1 of the 7" .1!.And the shipping handling fee is £1.Jesus wept!.Are they gonna ship each 7" individually?!.at £1 a time.Fookin muppets
Yup, got exactly the same e-mail from hmv.co.uk...
I mean, how DIFFICULT is it to tally up your pre-order totals so that you have all 3 in stock on the day of release???? 
TWATS!
Just got back from HMV Trafford Centre,where I picked up all three for 99p each.VINYL HEAVEN!!!!
I've changed my mind about the release of WFTSC.Few years ago,they released 1963 to coincide with the release of "The Best of..",giving a second chance to a perfect pop song,previously relegated to a B-side.
2005 to coincide with "Singles",they should have released the Richard X Remix of "Bizarre Love Triangle" as a single,again giving a second chance to a criminally overlooked classic,stumped by the fact it shared a similar sleeve to "State Of The Nation".
It is an awesome remix,and I hope it gets airplay.

i have the slight problem that i live 100 miles from the nearest record shop, if you don't count whsmiths and woolies- who don't stock singles anyway and are just plain shit in the selection they do have.
Got all 3 of them, and they neatly fit in my lurvely slip case. Which arrived a few days ago.
The purple one appears to be be rarest, had to ask the bloke behind the counter if he had any more and he had to pull one out of storage.. tch. Cheeky buggers. 99p each still though.
I've had the same email from HMV. They're shipping the other 2 today for the princley sum of 60p. What I don't get is why it cost a quid for one and only 60p for two 
That said, it did come in a nice cardboard box.
Should I expect the others to turn up in a flimsy secondhand carrier bag for that price? 
Bought all 3 singles on I-Tunes yesterday. Does anyone know if it is possible to burn all 6 tracks to a single CD. Want to listen to this stuff in my car and I don't have a multi-changer.

yep, got all three from virgin, 99p each.
is it just me or is the slipcase not quite big enough? think the spine should be slightly wider...
Seems like I'm one of the only buggers outside UK/Ireland to actually order the 3 7" singles and the 2 track CD of this from HMV.UK as opposed to taking my chances with the profiteering sharks lurking on Ebay. Any other Aussies/Yanks/etc. going thru HMV.UK or the other more legit channels as well?? Looking forward to my little bundle arriving sometime late next week. BTW, Johnny I laughed like hell at your H-M-V pisstake on Jetstream!!
I don't think you are alone there, Shane - I know of at least one Aus NOOLer who has copies making the same trip to our 'fair' shores from the same source. I honestly don't know if/how I'm getting my set, but the wheels are in motion...

Cheers, OB - Beardy did suggest as much in a recent sms, but I didn't wish to presume too much. You're a champ 
Are you going to the Peel gig, btw?

Jammy get. Drop me an email (you still got my addy?) when convenient and we'll work out a way to sort you out cashwise for the 7"s. Better cc the old ChargingBeast as well so we all know what's going on.
