Very happy for the news. 

I'm going to buy it. I have the same single with the same songs but on CD.

fuck, I think I ordered this a month or so ago, I'll need to go digging..... The single and the t-shirt. Or maybe I just "expressed interest" - fuck my weak memory!!!!

[Rodrigo]

What the fuck happened!? I was just talking to a record store in Buenos Aires and the lady told me that the single was late. And now it seems that they cancelled it.

Seems strange to cancel this without providing any reason for it. Were there production issues due to the pandemic? Shipping problems? 

The abrupt scrapping of the reissue the day before it was due to be released is rather strange.

Yes, but why? No explanation?

[badgeholder]

What about the t-shirt? I have one on order....

What went wrong?

Noooooooooo I first saw this now. How sad is that, I have literally waited for this release since October! 

It says that it was supposed to ship from UK, might have something to do with Brexit? 

 

[Strider]

Maybe they realized it was a mistake putting the chopped up ending of Hey Hey What Can I Do out instead of the way the original single was and they are rectifying the error.

Well, we still have Jimmy's solo album to look forward to. 🙄

Wow - the demand was certainly there. Just more BS reckon, - a hang over from 2020 I suppose... Sad.

I suspect the demand wasn't there - they were asking $20 for a copy of a record that can easily be found for $10-15.

I had ordered this single, a tshirt, and a lz3 hoodie from .com...I received an email in November that the record and tshirt had been delivered, and they obviously were not.  A few days later the hoodie arrived and I checked music glue, and my account page said the hoodie hadn't shipped yet (said it was due to ship in January), the account page also said that the yet unreleased record and tshirt had already been delivered to me...then a few months went by and now the record and tshirt are cancelled?   

Very weird, but who knows...based on my experience so far, music glue seems like a bit of a s-show disaster.  Maybe they accidentally sold double the amount to be released (this was supposed to be limited release, right?) and they realized it at the last second, so cancelled the release due to the error so they wouldn't have to admit the mistake on their end.

At least I got my refund in a timely fashion.
