Love this track
Looking forward next friday to hear the full album

For this album, the promotion is perfect imo, we weren't used to that of the Stranglers
On amazon UK, the sales look good
This has been a blast - haven't anticipated a release like this for a long time - last one was Monster.

Lots of good albums in between but this is special for obvious reasons.

Anyone heard any air play yet? Was hoping it would be R2 record of the week but they've gone for fucking ABBA.

Well of course. It doesn't come any bigger than that after a near 40 year gap.

And Abba are a musical colossus.

The REM album? That's pacing your anticipation.

ABBA are over rated, and the women always looked like they were being held hostage and forced to sing.

Boney M were much better.

Yep, totally wrong but I'll also give you Boney M as having some good records behind them. They also have that guy who fights thin air.

I loved Boney M and the male in the band the late Bobby Ferrel didn't sing on the records it was the producer but Bobby sang live he was a dancer, as for ABBA a great pop band but a pointless waste of time making another album but it will sell shitloads, thing is Benny and Bjorn look the same now, the years have not been kind to them, I see Iron Maiden have a new album out soon or now? So a bit of competition? But I don't know how many on here like Iron Maiden, not my thing but a very talented Band obviously, like some of their stuff.Lt Kudu.
