It's a bit of a sucky way of doing it...why not press more and just do it online as well.

Maybe, but you always get people grabbing 'rare' things (especially in music) even if they don't want it for themselves. Prospect of making a profit on E-bay too irresistible. Which means some of the fans either miss out or have to pay ridiculous prices. Ah well, rant over.

Hmm, might have to join you before fucking off to Cardiff. If I don't end up doing so for whatever reason, pick us one up?

Agree this is a bad way to organise this though I hope to get one at Cardiff, buying one PFAYM if I can too.

so...... who wants to buy one for me?
i'll cover the price of the 7'', the postage to the united states, and throw a little extra for you to get a pint on that lovely summery day.

i am getting really sick and fucking tired of this approach.

yeah, i'd love to buy one, and bands and record labels are perpetually crying about people not buying stuff. how about making it possible to buy it, then?

i understand that Nicky "fuck google" Wire wouldn't use the internet, but a quick search reveals that, in record label terms, producing more than 1000 copies of this would cost close to fuck all in terms of income generated off it. fuck it, i would even send them the tenner to add the barcode to get it in the charts.

MJ on release got to what, 92 or something? more people would purchase this than the people who bought the 3 singles of PFAYM combined, thus presumably giving it a better chart position. certainly a better one than it currently has to its name.

i understand that it's "cute" for the band to think that only the chosen few fans will own this record, but that just shows how far cut off from reality they are, then. a hefty percentage will be changing hands for mucho $$$, cash that they could have happily had off the fans.

either release it properly "for the fans" or fuck off with it.

It is properly shit for people who can't get to London or Cardiff.

And you know some people will be buying more than one with the sole purpose being to sell on at inflated prices on Ebay.... If I didn't live so close to Cardiff I would have been pissed off with that Record Store Day malarchy.

I hope it's limited to one copy per person at the Cardiff gig.

The fact they assume there will means I'm sure there will be some and they'll be signed too.

It'll be more like 'Masses Against the Classes'... hanging around bargain bins for years
