View Full Version : No Single In Shops (UK)
Is this my local shops or is anyone else having problems?
Checked the local MVC and Woolworths (admittedly not the best, but still they are walking distance of my work in the dinner hour). Neither of them had CHSIB the single available (or the album, expected that though). They don't mention it on any lists, however they mention that the album is out next week in Woolworths.... why?!? Oh why?!?
PC is playing up at home atm, so can't get online often to check emails and such if anyone has emailed me in the last week or so. When my PC works I will email you back I promise ;)
One day Meat Loaf releases will go perfectly,...
When that one day comes, I don't know :(

I've had the same problem - HMV and WH Smiths aren't stocking it. Finally found it in Virgin Megastores, in the Meatloaf section - not even on the new releases bit
:cry:

I haven't tried Virgin yet.I think i'll go to town on the hunt tomorrow :twisted: .
Oh no... first the Dutchies with the probs to get the album and now the UK people too?? :?

Well the single wasn't in the large HMV store in our town this morning. Pretty dissappointing that - however there was one copy in the smaller Our Price. Needless to say there isn't one there now!!

Tho' the date said APRIL 14th, I didn't bother going to the stores to find it. I knew I'd be disappointed. On March 31st, EVERY music store I attended Knew ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about it. Mind you, I live in Australia -
But, still, there's no reason why we should get it too late. Well, is there?
After all, Meat is very big in Australia. Always has been, always will be.
When I should expect the single (and album) in the stores?
P.S.
Just asking casually. Maybe some one knows

HMV and woolworths told me they would get it in late monday delivery and if not then it would be tuesday morning. Virgin Megastore had it under their new releases section.
No sign of it in Dublin either, though the album will be in the stores on Friday morning for purchase.

no single in my hometown, too!
I couldn't get it anywhere neither! :( tried every shop in Hounslow going to Kingston tomorrow and then Richmond - Why cann't these guys or gals responsible for marketing get their act together!I think I would be tempted to place a bet that it won't be in the shops next week neither. :roll:

It's behind you :lol: .
No single at HMV, MVC, WHSmiths, Woolworths or half a dozen independent record stores in Halifax and Huddersifeld. I know a few mates at leeds uni so they are going to scour Leeds for me tomorrow!!!
I'm overwhelmed! Why is this always the problem?! Lol!
Glad its not just my town thats a bag of do-do!

Is the song Unsaid on the single? If so, can one of the lucky people who were able to buy the single, please tell us about the song?

Yes, Unsaid is on there
A Diane Warren ballad
It reminds me of "Always on My Mind" - the Elvis classic. Lyrically for sure
All the things I should have done
Should have told you how much I cared
But it went unsaid
All the words I kept inside
It was there on my mind
But it went unsaid
Should have said I loved you baby
Instead it went unsaid
I'm sure you can get the general idea from the above sample lyrics - I quite like it but at the moment I can't get "Always on My Mind" out of my head

I got the single in a Virgin Megastore in York today at about 3pm. There were loads of copies. I agree, how the hell can we get him to number 1 if no shops are stocking it?!! I noticed HMV took it off their website, maybe they got sick of all the mucking around and decided not to bother. Stupid. Lets hope all your shops get it in soon and Sunday it hits the top of the charts!
Fireball, if you're reading this whats going on?? I know its totally out of your hands but do you have any words of encouragement?

it is still on the hmv site, i just checked. It says "usually ships within 3 days" or something to that effect.

The release date in Australia (and New Zealand where I am) was never 31st March. As far as I know, the single will be released on 21st April (or thereabouts, depending on what date new releases in Australia generally come out). The release date for the album in this part of the world is 12th May.
Tried again today, checked MVC, Woolworths, WH SMith & Music Zone, none had it in, asked in MVC and they had no idea it existed....

I pre-ordered the single from the HMV website. I've just checked the status of the order and its telling me that the order has been shipped.
Hope this helps!
