Portrait of My Love B-side

Post by paul jh » Fri Aug 26, 2011 10:30 pm

I'm very excited about the 7 inch/45 RPM single of Portrait of My Love. I hope the B-side is kept under wraps so we are surprised. Perhaps it will be the original B-side. If not, I'm hoping it's something else that came out around that time.

It's no great secret Paul. I wont say if you want to be surprised, but it does actually say what the B side is on the 'CD of The Month" page

My branch of WH SMith is 5 miles away, I just called them and they know nothing about it - however a delivery is due today so I'll call back this afternoon. So much for it being exclusive to them!!!!

Of course there has been a big mess up with the distributors and the Bookazine will probably not be out for another month - however there will be 100 copies available at the Launch. It is too complicated to try and explain except to say there has been a lot of false promises made to EMI, as far as I have ascertained this morning, WH Smiths have still to put their order in!!!

I've asked in a couple of my local WH Smith's but all I get is the shake of a head.

I hope the stock arrives soon, as I'm really looking forward to hearing Matt sing 'The Last Farewell'. I have not heard this track before but imagining him singing it I think it will really suit his voice.

Glenn- you will just LOVE Matts version of The Last Farewell released at long,long last on CD.
Also on this amazing CD Matt singing 'Nice and Easy accompanied only by piano,drums and guitar?

LOVING IT.Hope you don't have to wait much longer for WH.Smith to receive it.
