www.go-betweens.org.uk/discography/2005worldsapart.htm Does anyone know any more about this release? It appears to feature a collaboration with another artist which is unusual. Has anyone heard any of the new songs?? |

Very interesting, I'd like to know if it's being released in U.K.? http://www.simbioticstore.com/lomaxrecords/index.html?s=home&m=&c=viewitem&item_ id=9291 |

With any luck it'll be another iTunes download, like the "Here comes the city" single. |

If Grant was a Smurf, what would his Smurf-name be, I wonder? |

Wow! That 'ashes on the lawn' song attracted a lot of words in the last chapter of the second edition of Dave Nichols absolutely fabulous Go-betweens biography. Look foward to hearing it. |

It seems you will not be able to hear it. The CDEP is not happening says LoMax in a mail; the US amazon listing is wrong, apparently. We will have to settle for the 7". Per |

http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=280 It seems us U.K. fans, at least, are lucky enough to get the four songs on 7". |

Ssshhhhh Jerry, don't tell everybody. Obviously the GB's don't want too many people to know about their new single, because if they did they wouldn't be trying to confuse us by leaving us wondering whether or not it's going to be released at all, or cleverly providing contradictory track listings to this site and retailers like HMV. Jeez, I guess I'll just have to go out and buy the damn thing just to see what bloody tracks are on it! Smart post modern reverse psychology marketing or just downright incompetence with a dollop of arrogance thrown in for good measure.... your guess is as good as mine? I wonder if they'll send me a copy gratias for this! |

About the tuition CD-single: Alas, with a slightly (or much) less new track list, as I can see: Finding You (from the album) Born To A Family (from the album) Streets Of Your Town (from Barbican) |

There's a message on the Lo-max site (www.lomaxrecords.com) that clarifies the tracks that are available as downloads and on the 7" single. Downloads should be available tomorrow, with the 7" following on 14th November. |

1. The release of the 7" pressing of the Worlds Apart EP has been delayed by seven days. It will be available in UK stores on 14 November. It's available online from the LO-MAX shop but will not be available from Amazon, despite erroneous listings to the contrary. Please note - there is NO CD pressing of his EP. Ignore any stores offering a CD pressing of this EP. It does not exist. The tracklisting of the 7" EP is - (a) Finding You (single version) (b) The City Of Lights (Vs. Future Pilot AKA) (c) Sleeping Giant. All these tracks are available as downloads from the LO-MAX website. 2. Other download sites such as i-Tunes are carrying a DIFFERENT tracklisting. This will be available from the 7th November and is (a) Finding You (single version) (b) The City Of Lights (Vs. Future Pilot AKA) (c) Crystal Shacks. PLEASE NOTE - 'Ashes On The Lawn' is erroneously listed on some of these sites. We believe the song on their system is actually 'Locust Girls'. This is an excellent rare track and well worth owning but it is NOT 'Ashes On The Lawn'. We will do our best to have this title corrected but it is a surprisingly slow complicated and bureaucratic process. Pardon me but this doesn't clear anything up. How did "these sites" manage to come up with the title 'Ashes On The Lawn'? When it is in fact 'Locust Girls', which isn't on the single anyway, or is it? Velma Dinkley herself couldn't solve this one. |

Is 'Crystal Shacks' the same as 'Sleeping Giants' or are they different tracks? Anyone have any idea? |

Just downloaded the EP. 'Finding You' is as you'd expect, 'Ashes on the Lawn' is indeed 'Locust Girls' and sounds good (odd choice though.), 'Crystal Shacks' is an instrumental that doesn't really go anywhere but is fine and 'City of Lights' is a really good spoken work track despite only being under 2 minutes in length (and over half of that being instrumental). No idea about 'Sleeping Giants'. An odd EP! |

Just listening to my flac download (I love the fact that you can get a lossless download of all three tracks for £1.50 - more download sites should be this way) from the Lo-Max site and what a great single it is! Finding You is a great choice for a lead track, City of Lights is absolutely gorgeous and Sleeping Giants is a lovely acoustic Robert piece that lasts a good five minutes and doesn't wear out its welcome. In a saner world this would be a top 30 single. |

And Dusty, Sleeping Giants isn't the same as Crystal Shack. |

No, so I've since discovered - actually I like 'Sleeping Giants' very much - it's a bit of a Forster grower, yet I can see why the style didn't fit the new LP (Lomax mentioned it was originally recorded for it). 'City of Light' is lovely too. |

Not by me. I did a bit of a tour of Central London - 2 HMVs, a Virgin and a Selectadisc - on Monday and didn't see it. I didn't ask for it as I was always going to download but it wasn't racked anywhere I thought it might have been. |

There were a bunch of the vinyl EPs in the big HMV in Oxford Street yesterday. They look very nice! |
