Clive's explanation seems to me to be entirely plausible. I think that the problem has been Mercury's failure understand that Meat's fans follow up any information with enthusiasm, and that in the absence of clear communication expectations will be raised, rather than their communicating different information to Diane and to me (unless they have at some point written to Diane and said a release date had been confirmed.)
If they had responded more quickly to the many enquiries made to ask if this could be confirmed as a definite release date of some new version of the CD, a more accurate picture could have been provided imo.
But I saw no threats :)

I thought I made it perfectly clear that the info given about the proposed release being 14th July came from Mercury's promo copies of the new edit which were distributed to radio stations. On reading the info provided with the single Capital FM obviously believed this to be the case as well. The info is for the benefit of the radio stations and I think it's fair to assume that they can broadcast what is provided unless specifically asked not to do so.
We all know only too well how things quickly change in the music industry and unfortunately the single isn't going to be released. I didn't think anyone was questioning Mercury's explanation.
