Posted January 13, 200916 yr http://www.normanrecords.com/images/covers/104746.jpg TRACKLISTING Side: A Mykonos / Side B False Knight On The Road OVERVIEW: 2008 has been the year of Fleet Foxes. The band’s self-titled debut is unquestionably the most acclaimed album of the year, and has since become the record to top most end of the year lists. Fleet Foxes are MOJO’s number 1 album and band of 2008, Sunday Times number 1 album, were at number 2 in Q, Rough Trade and Uncut’s end of year list, and number 3 in The Fly. Seattle’s finest were also the recipient of the inaugural Uncut Music Magazine Award, fending off competition from the likes of Radiohead, Elbow and Bon Iver. As well as being the critics choice Fleet Foxes have also been a massive commercial success this year. Their self-titled debut has now sold over 140,000 copies in the UK alone, while the band selling out 2 nights at Shepherd’s Bush Empire in a matter of weeks. Fleet Foxes have since announced 3 consecutive nights at the Roundhouse in February (are the first band do EVER do this on a debut album alone!), all dates of which sold-out within just 2 weeks. This 7 Inch of the Incredible Mykonos (taken from the brand new 2 disc version of the album) includes a brand new recording of the Steeleye Span classic “False Knight On the Road.”
January 14, 200916 yr The new version is nothing compared to the EP version. I love the original, the new version is okay.
January 15, 200916 yr The new version is nothing compared to the EP version. I love the original, the new version is okay. Nothing quite like living up to your stereotype, is there Jonny?
January 15, 200916 yr Edit: Which version is the 'new' version? CBrWaOmo4AE&feature=related k3r197bkkNo&feature=related ^ This is the version I have, and the one I prefer
January 15, 200916 yr Nothing quite like living up to your stereotype, is there Jonny? Indeed. :o The first one is the new version Mykul.
January 15, 200916 yr I have today listened to it on my player on the way to the Uni and have grown to love the song. I adore FF music :wub:
January 16, 200916 yr I have the EP version - I agree it is better, but either way it is a great song. Anyone have the album? I may get it if it is upto the standard of Mykanos....
January 16, 200916 yr Author The new version is terrible. It's turned it into some Fray-lite rubbish with that added piano part, (piano on a Fleet Foxes track? Erm no fanx)
January 23, 200916 yr I love this single and I adore the album - I'm just disappointed they've decided to allow their fans to fall prey to the marketing bigwigs at their record company in ok-ing a 2nd 2-disc version of their album to be released when all the fans have already shelled out for the original. I thought they had more integrity than that.... :arrr:

It's going to cost the same as the original album. Not too shabby imo :o
January 23, 200916 yr Maybe I haven't listened to it enough, but I was disappointed with their album :/ Cannot for the life of me see what all the hype surrounding it is about, I just found large parts of it dull tbh. I'm willing to give it more time and a few more listens but for me this album really isn't anything special and i'm not sure what everyone's jizzing in their pants over :unsure:
