Daniella - at this moment in time and as we are sat here, moored close to the shores of mainland Europe, Captain EMI is still bashing one out, down below, waiting to tell us of the date.

Watch this space.

So they'll release a MOR wishy-woshy shoe-shine tune like Unbroken rather than do the right thing and release something with bottle like Relentless, Sommat or I Hate You.

Waste of time.......................

Doesnt matter what they bring out - in anyway shape or form - it wont chart. The charts are only geared to spotty teenagers. Always have been.

I'll be VERY surprised if they bring out another single as the whole thing bombed

Sadly that's true - but only because there is nothing new. The main release (or 'A' side as us oldr members still like to call it) is very often a straight lift off the album and the other tracks are live versions of existing material. If there was something different, then the single would get played more ofter. I can remember playing the 'B' sides to Lies and Deception over and over again - especially Cool Danny.

I think the point is - don't release a single unless it adds something for the fans.

"Pawsher" and "Permission" on the B side of "Paradise" were just fabulous. I want one of "those" moments again.

You are quite right.
