No Single In Shops (UK)

Alex · 14 Apr 2003, 13:52

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

seagull · 14 Apr 2003, 14:06

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

**The Flying Mouse** · 14 Apr 2003, 15:08

Same here.No single

.
The guy at HMV said it might be next week

.
I haven't tried Virgin yet.I think i'll go to town on the hunt tomorrow

Guppie · 14 Apr 2003, 15:26

Oh no... first the Dutchies with the probs to get the album and now the UK people too??

Dick · 14 Apr 2003, 15:29

Well i found the single in Bangor N.Ireland in Ourprice(now Sanity) for £2.99 and i bought it.

Puritan · 14 Apr 2003, 15:51

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!!

rockfenris2005 · 14 Apr 2003, 16:28

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

ChrisBelfast · 14 Apr 2003, 17:34

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.

Oriel · 14 Apr 2003, 17:45

No sign of it in Dublin either, though the album will be in the stores on Friday morning for purchase.

White of High · 14 Apr 2003, 18:09

rockfenris2005!
Hi here! What'up on 'Carpe-Jugulum'?

Garrett · 14 Apr 2003, 18:21

no single in my hometown, too!

dottie · 14 Apr 2003, 18:27

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.

White of High · 14 Apr 2003, 18:28

No ALBUM in my hometown, not too!

Chris · 14 Apr 2003, 19:52

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!!!

Alex · 14 Apr 2003, 19:58

I'm overwhelmed! Why is this always the problem?! Lol!
Glad its not just my town thats a bag of do-do!

mariella · 14 Apr 2003, 20:07

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?

Mariella

Draven · 14 Apr 2003, 21:37

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
