Album On Sale In The UK

**Diane** · 21 Apr 2003, 13:19

Thrilled to say I had no problem finding copies of CHSIB (the album) for sale in Woolworths this morning, even on this little island. A guy standing next to me heard me ask for it and straight away bought a copy too! He told me how much he loves Meat but didn't know he had a new album out.

What really made my day was that they were playing Forever Young when I walked in.

Unfortunately they still didn't have, or even plan to stock, the single. When I asked them why not, particularly now it's in the charts, I was told they have their own chart (based on their sales) and Meat's single isn't on it. I then asked how Meat's single could possibly make it on to their chart if they're not even selling it, and the guy just shrugged and said they just stock what head office thinks will sell.

I can't believe that about the single

How do they expect it to sell??
But that's fantastic news about the CD !! I just got the message from Amazon.com that mine have been shipped

Now I'll have spare copies for when I wear one out :)

Forever Young ... an amazing song !!
