Sinister: new single - ulp!

There is a lengthy interview with Young Murdoch in
this month's Record Collector in which he reveals that
he had nowt to do with Late Night Tales, it is all, or
nearly all, the work of Chris and Mick. I only had a
quick skim through the interview at the airport, but
it looked quite good as far as these things go. Then
again, I like Record Collector. They ask Stewpot about
his collection, and indeed about *our* collection.
Basically, if you found one of the clues on the
treasure hunt, you are quids in. Probably. Unlike if
you have an original Tigermilk, the last one went for
a measly £136.

I read about the new single in the NME. I have not
seen or heard mention of it elsewhere. I am unexcited.

I would like a "digital copy" of that Kebab Shop song,
given that I paid for one and then the server was "too
busy", and I don't even live in New Zealand.
