They're really pinching out these bundles eh?
It feels like the good old days around here, a momentary lease of life and then back into hibernation after the great chart battle reprise of 2021.
Even erstwhile members making an appearance, what a time to be alive.

Ay up, Nicky’s not done yet. Signed Polaroids!

+ deluxe edition CD + download + t-shirt for £20.

https://store.manicstreetpreachers.c...ginal-polaroid

Even I can’t resist this one. It’s time to punish Steps for their insolence!

Never ever preorder any album ever again.

Well, I was going to buy that t-shirt anyway and I can sell my extra deluxe copy so it's a great deal really (this is what I'm am telling myself anyway)

Good lord this month has been expensive and I haven't even paid for my Cardiff hotel yet...

Ok this one got me too! And all this is free postage after the extortionate shipping prices for the pre-orders!

Do you think because it comes with the CD and the download they can count this as two album purchases?

That £20 t-shirt and deluxe cd offer is really great. Even though I have the deluxe CD I might buy it and then give it to my brother as a Chritmas gift

When can we expect a chart update today? I’ll probably get the t shirt deal if they’re still in the race.

Any figures floating around off sales this week?

If you get a number 1 by the same people buying multiple copies, have you really won?

Yes it will be two sales. Steps won’t know what hit them.

I'd imagine the Official Chart website will keep things under wraps now. Their countdown suggests we find out at 5:45 tomorrow

Hats of to Nicky for digging the tshirt and Polaroid bundle out. His signing hand must be killing

If they were really smart they'd have made the T-shirt out of a reconstituted copy of the album, and inserted an album download QR code into the pixels of the polaroid. 4 copies!

There I was thinking the t-shirt would be at least £20 on its own and they're selling it for £5??? Even in the 90s official tees were at least a tenner! How bizarre.

I'm from Italy, so I thought I would buy my copy here, as I did since I knew them (SATT). But it seems that in Italy the single cd version does not exist, not even on Amazon Italy, and I want it because my "record collection space" only allowes standard cd editions (not "dvd cases"), so I bought it on Amazon UK. It did not arrive yet, and I did not listened to it elsewhere (it's some kind of a ritual, unpacking the cd, putting in the cd player, etc.), but now I am happier because I'm helping them getting to No 1.
Just for information: single cd + shipping to Italy is about £ 14, on the official store it was twice that.
