They do, at least in the non anglo-saxon parts of Europe

Agreed. Count me in.

iTunes UK store link:

£4.99

I love this idea and wish you well with it, but as much as I love Lifeblood I'm struggling to justify purchasing of a 5th copy of the album...

Can't see any Twitter stuff on Project Lifeblood, contrary to popular belief.

How did you justify buying 4 copies of it?

We get most of the stuff from amazon.co.uk or zavvi anyway.

Will ones bought from Amazon count towards the chart? Have to make sure they are new ones and not second hand!

UK CD & Vinyl, Standard Japanese CD, 2009 Japanese 'mini LP'-style re-issue. The bare minimum any true fan of the album should have really!

I'll buy another cheap copy off Amazon and give to a mate for a birthday present as he likes the Manics but doesn't have Lifeblood. The album only lasted 2 weeks in the top 100 in 2004, which is pretty shocking to say the least! If it entered the top 100 again for a week that'd be cool and funny. I'm in.

good point! sales from amazon directly, be it CD or digital, will count - do not buy either new or used from marketplace, they don't roll up.

Porco, many thanks indeed for the iTunes link, put it on my blogpost and will include it on the facebook page when i list all the places to buy.

for those wishing to share on that twatter thing, my twatter account is leerblueberry, so i guess "follow" that or whatever it is one does. i have twatted links to the facebook page and my blogpost for it, so "retwat" them.

i also sent it to manicspostcards - i am expecting to be ignored, blocked, or in a best case get a nice message from Nicky Wire asking if i could please stop being a fan of his band.
