sister ray of soho, (record shop) ran an advert in this weeks nme saying that they have some japanese copies of tigermilk arriving and are placing orders at #24.99 a copy.

Japanese version - what's that? They are on cd? but me thinks maybe there is a problem with this for they are by a band called, and i quote, "Belle and Sebastien" and "Tiger Milk" is two words?

Does anyone know anything about this?

Is it worth #24.99?

firstly it is 'tigermilk' and it is by our beloved belle and sebastian... but... it's not going to arrive soon as this was virgin japan bungling up their release schedule. they've presumed they are releasing it on the grounds they released sinister and arab strap, and because they knew it was due they have tried to get an advantage over the rest of the world be selling it to shops before everyone else. very foolish, because they get it supplied by us, and we're setting the release date. please note THE UK COPY WILL BE RELEASED FIRST, with the rest of the world either on the same day or on the day after (tuesday, i.e. as in the US). as a result, you could place an order for tigermilk through sister ray or whoever, but you'll pay through your noses for it, and it'll arrive well after everyone else is treasuring their copy, and then all the writing will be in japanese and you won't be able to read the lyrics (unless you're fluent of course) cheers david ----------------------------------------------------------------------- david kitchen : jeepster recordings ltd http://www.jeepster.co.uk/ http://www.jeepster.co.uk/belleandsebastian/ http://www.jeepster.co.uk/salako/ http://www.jeepster.co.uk/snowpatrol/ mailto:shop@jeepster.co.uk jeepster recordings ltd, 217 canalot, 222 kensal road, london w10 5bn to subscribe to the news mailing list mail majordomo@jeepster.co.uk with the words 'subscribe news' in the body of the message +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
