I don't know what you mean by this, is it the new single/album releases, if that's what you after, I can post when I received my new copy later on this week.

Both Bell & Spurling songs were related to tournaments (vaguely):

Sven Sven Sven was released to celebrate England's 5-1 win over Germany.

Goldenballs was released for the 2002 World Cup.
