It's a shame really that they'll likely keep everything limited, but I get it - they're doing this on their own dime and having a bunch of cds/vinyls stuck in Mutya's mom's attic storage for years for the purpose of keeping them in print probably isn't appealing to any of them, especially as they'd have to consistently order smaller amounts as to not overstock them too much, while at the same time having to take a loss from the overhead price of ordering a smaller amount of copies.

The downside to them being indie is they take on all of the financial risk. Given everything is for delivery on the 15th of Sept I imagine they placed the order months ago and just had to make a rough guess as to how popular it would be

And it wouldn’t be the first time they underestimated their appeal (remember they didn’t think people would come to their Glasto set and they nearly caused a stampede)

The good news is that by all accounts they're using the data that The Lost Tapes have generated to gauge interest and where - even if they don't stay indie, I'm sure they could use that as a negotation tactic with a label (look at what we achieved as a low-key independent release is probably a good selling point).

Yeah I think that given they’ve generated a good buzz for it with absolutely zero promotion or support on an album various figures in the industry actively sabotaged and sought to ensure never happened, they’ve got a pretty good hand for any negotiations that’s for sure.

I can’t wait to hold it in my hands. It’s a wonderful album and it fully deserves to be released in a physical format for us to cherish

The store just emailed to say that the CD is slightly delayed as they have only just received the stock today. It’ll be dispatched asap but that is why it wasn’t sent yesterday along with the Vinyls

Raging I didn't know about this until too late. I didn't get a promo email from their site or anything. Had already prordered vinyl a while ago and was disappointed there was no CD. Now I've chuffing missed it after waiting 10 years!!

No, there’s no booklet.

We get full details on the writing credits, a special thank you that’s very heavy on fan love by usual album liner notes thank you Standards, and a CD. That’s it. From what I’ve heard it’s the same for the vinyl


BMG aren’t funding this, it’s only Sugababes that are all over this so it’s a bit of a budget affair. But hey, at least we have a physical copy

Ordered! It pushed me to order the When the Rain Comes CD and vinyl too dance.gif I paid them to ship separately so that my CD will hopefully count for this week, I really want them to make the albums chart even if it is at #100
