Re: Details of new 7" single to be released the Fleece gig

[phil mason <phil@ph...net>]

Ah yes, that "forthcoming album" rumour again... Lots of description and 
teasing over the last year or two, not very much music (although "25 Kinds 
of Love" sounded promising).  I've rather given up hope of ever hearing 
it: I live in Glasgow, so I have a very low life expectancy, you 
understand. The Blue Aeroplanes? More like the bleedin' Blue Nile in their 
early years.
So, here's the business plan: organise a limited local release of a single 
in a format that few people still have access to of an outtake from an 
album that isn't even available. Stunning! An entire  generation of 
potential fans will be rushing out to buy a record player especially. 
Granted, album releases get delayed for any number of artistic and 
non-artistic reasons, but... but... but... Oh, go on Chris, tell us some 
good news!
Goadingly,
Phil
