If he decides on re-releasing 12 Months, he will have to promote it so it can finally have a chance of achieving a higher UK peak than it currently has.

 

It’s probably worth mentioning that many more people would have already had a copy of Open Road.

 

The same might not be said for 12 months, so it could be the first time a lot of people buy it!

If it was to work from that, roughly 300,000 less people have 12 Months 11 Days than Open Road and would indicate 12 Months should do better. Sadly such logistics most likely do not apply to this instance.

 

If only it was that easy but if he re-releases I'd be all for him promoting it and performing lie to me.

A main stream tv performance of Lie To Me would be simply delightful if it ever happens.

Gary knows it's a fan fave so it could happen.

At the time the album was released, it would be insightful to know what Gary's preference was for the lead single and at that time did he know Lie To Me would loved by fans.

I just bought garys new book today,really looking forward to the read,I'm not a huge reader so it will prob take me a month to read it all.

You'll probably have finished it by the time my copy gets here :lol:

I've seen bits and pieces in the press - especially about Poppy's death, Dawn's diabetes and the tax scandal -, but I want to read the whole thing. I'll probably stay up all night to finish it :D

I’ve ordered it too! Well, I ordered it last October! Due to arrive on Wednesday - can’t wait to read it! Especially the solo album chapter. What parts are you looking forward to reading about?

His solo work and the take that reunion and making up with robbie I'm looking forward to,il be interested in what he has to say about x factor if it's in it

I also have a copy ordered which is saying will be delivered tomorrow.

It’s been delivered! Ok, going to read it now!

A few pages in and it's certainly worth buying.

I’m nearly at the half way point :lol:

It definitely has a few surprises.

I was a little taken back by the extent of his addiction to food and the bulimia,he really has had a true battle with food and I can relate to it but not on his level,I have battled ny weight for years and luckily have it in control for a good few years now and managed to keep 9 of the 10 stone I lost off.I loved when Gary said it's the one thing you have to do yourself you can't just hire someone to deal with as you have to do it all yourself which is so true.

Just going to repost this here, where it should have been :lol:

 

An extract from ‘A Better Me’:

 

We knew Jason wasn’t going to stick around forever, but when we started thinking about our next album [after Circus], he was already on his way out of the back door.

 

I know people would give their left arm to do what we do. But at times I felt like Jay’d give his right arm not to. In that respect he’s like Dawn: hates the publicity.

 

There was only one thing that would keep Jason for one more record: Robbie.

 

Jason would stick around if the old Take That were together again. And wasn’t that where all this was headed since the comeback? Rob.

 

‘Yeah, but where is he?’

 

Rob still felt so far out of reach.

 

I knew Jay would stay if Rob came back. He and Rob are great mates by now.

 

Fact: if we weren’t five, we were three, no two ways about it.

 

I had to get Rob back.

I was a little taken back by the extent of his addiction to food and the bulimia,he really has had a true battle with food and I can relate to it but not on his level,I have battled ny weight for years and luckily have it in control for a good few years now and managed to keep 9 of the 10 stone I lost off.I loved when Gary said it's the one thing you have to do yourself you can't just hire someone to deal with as you have to do it all yourself which is so true.

 

I’m struck by that too! Even during recent times and tours he’s had difficulties. I’m about half way through the book now!

Please, keep posting extracts from the book, guys! It's still a while til my copy gets to Romania.
