Hi Katrina, First off, £1.99 for CD singles is a very fair price, when you consider you can more often than not pick up CD albums for £11.99 first week of release featuring 12-14 tracks, four tracks for £4.99 was bad enough, £4.99 for 3 tracks is going to be a complete rip off. 99p for 7" even though I hardly ever buy them is great and probably the only good thing to come out of this new ruling will be the inevitable resurgence in the 7" format when the punters say "sod that extra track on the CD, I'll get the vinyl for a damn sight cheaper price". Not that singles sell that well anyway if the NME is to be believed. Bands getting number ones with 21000 singles sold and all that. The chart is a load of old cack anyway, so call me biased towards the record buyer if you like, but screw the singles chart, stick with tradition, keep the e.p alive and keep the punters happy at the same time. Not that they wouldn't buy it anyway, losing a track on a single won't put most people off their favourite bands, not me for one. WE WANT FOUR TRACKS ON OUR CD SINGLES....... OR SOMETHING, DEATH TO CIN AND THE MONEY GRABBING MAJORS..... FREE GEORGE JACKSON..... ERRR.... AND LOTS OF OTHER SOCIALIST COMMENTS WHICH I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT..... NURSE!!!!!, MY PILLS PLEASE. Actually I think I've found a good reason to cut CD singles down to three tracks. Think about it, less tracks by horrible boy/girl bands being released..... and Stereophonics as well. Wouldn't the world be a better place with 6 less Boyzone songs a year being released ?. 87) Gary ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
