NEED EVERYONE HELP HELP - Page 2

MBrevard · 16 Apr 2003, 18:10

Caryl! Didn't see your message before I just posted!

THANK YOU!!

I'm on it!!!

**The Flying Mouse** · 16 Apr 2003, 18:17

Hi Meat.
Just a thought.
As there are a lot of shops that don't have the single in stock yet,would it be a better idea to have a big push next week when more of the regular public will be buying them?
If we all buy at the same time it will mean a lot better position in the charts

.
If you still want it done now though,no problem at all.
Let me know what you think.If you can't get back to me in time,i'll stick with the plan and get them tomorrow.
Rock on

.

MBrevard · 16 Apr 2003, 18:33

Caryl, thanks again!!!! I never would have found available singles otherwise!

Meat, I just went to the HMV UK website and bought 10 copies. I hope to heaven it helps you!!

If there's anything else I can do for you from here, just let me know! I want to help!

See ya in Saratoga in June!! Can't wait!

Love ya,
M

CarylB · 16 Apr 2003, 18:40

You're welcome

And here it is again:

http://www.hmv.co.uk/

Search Meat Loaf, top of page 2 .. we can do it!!

There ya go Meat

**The Flying Mouse** · 16 Apr 2003, 18:46

Well as everybody has started buying singles now,I may as well get my copies tomorrow.Also,i'll find out exactly which shops have the single and which ones haven't.
Let's get Meat to number 1 this week

.

MBrevard · 16 Apr 2003, 18:49

Uh oh! Caryl, I just got an email from HMV indicating that "Goods have yet to be received from suppliers." Maybe they've run out of stock or something since you were told they'd already sent yours???

I think I may be back to Square One on this. Looking for more suggestions from any of you who have better access and knowledge of stores or UK websites who will ship product overseas.

I will continue to hold onto my HMV order, just in case the email was incorrect...

It's 8 hours earlier here in California. I'll be here--except for the time that Meat's on Johnnie Walker's show. More suggestions or ideas will be appreciated!!!

I'll keep checking back....

mariella · 16 Apr 2003, 18:57

I have been checking Amazone and it says the single won't be available until the 21th! Anyone seen something else?
Couldn't find the single at Bol.com either!
What is going on?

Mariella

Now searching ALL evening..

CarylB · 16 Apr 2003, 18:58

I just had a notification that my order for 10 was accepted .. and I think the fact you've ordered them will count as sales from Meat's point of view. If there's a delay and you're desp to get the record in your hot little hand, you can have one of the ones I've bought from the Sheffield real store when I collect them .. probably this weekend .. and I'm sure yours will be sent out by HMV on-line by then .. but keep me posted OK?

Caryl xo

ChrisBelfast · 16 Apr 2003, 18:59

my advice would if you can buy from high street where possible. I dont know about rest of UK but HMV in belfast now has the song. They said it came in as a late delivery on tuesday.

Just a thought, but perhaps people who havent been able to find the single in the shop have took an attitude of it costs 4 pounds, is a lot of hassle to buy so i'll just wait till next week and by the album which is only about a fiver dearer!!??? I think some people who aren't dye-hard fans may be thinking like this. Maybe Meat should delay the album another week to push single sales as they are too close together

ChrisBelfast · 16 Apr 2003, 19:01

dont know about everyone else meat but i only want a copy signed, you don't have to buy them back. This is the least we can do for you to show r appreciation for your music. We owe you far more than a few single sales anyway!!!!!!!

mariella · 16 Apr 2003, 19:02

Right you are, we aren't even talking about money here!!

Mariella

ChrisBelfast · 16 Apr 2003, 19:06

one final note, sorry shoulda just done the one post but......

Its always in the paper how apparently the record company got all these pop idol stars to number one by buying the records themselves. Surely if anough fans by records and mercury buy some back so to speak then the single will do well in the charts. I don't think anyone else will buy it after this week because the album will be out and theyll buy it instead. Perhaps all this hassle of getting a single will be rewarded as people will have to buy the album as they cant find the single anywhere??!!

dottie · 16 Apr 2003, 19:25

Still haven't got mine yet - crawled around the shops again today

**The Flying Mouse** · 16 Apr 2003, 19:34

No way this is about money.
Ask not what Meat can do for you.Ask what you can do for Meat

.

Michael Marxen · 16 Apr 2003, 19:45

Hey Uk citizens,

go for it!
We managed chart #8 (CHSIB album) and #18 (DIST single) here in Germany. Not bad at all! CHSIB single just been released. Of course some of us here bought multiple copies of each in the first week.

They make wonderfull presents (but not for those who would buy them anyhow!).
But now it is your turn in the UK! I know you can even do better! Conquer all the problems! It is the first week that counts!
GO UK, GO!

MBrevard · 16 Apr 2003, 19:48

No, it's not a matter of money. I intend to send these copies out to people and tell them "See how great this is!!!!...Now go out and buy the album!!!"

Caryl, I hope you're right and the HMV sales will help!! Thanks, again.

dottie · 16 Apr 2003, 19:49

Yes surely we would want Meat at the very top but I cann't even buy it yet
in any of the shops down here - may be the distributors need a kick up the back side

Barmad · 16 Apr 2003, 19:50

So we all go out and buy dozens of CDs ... How are yoou arranging these Meet n Greets, Meat?

Barmad

mellis107 · 16 Apr 2003, 20:03

Meat

I'm SO sorry for all these problems you're having with the single. You SO don't need this! I got a copy today ordered via the HMV website late last week. But, of course, if I can find more copies in stores I'll buy those as well. I'm sure evryone here will also. We ALL want sucess for you!!

Whoever is responsible for this needs to be hung up by their short and curlies (if they have them...) and forced to listen to S Club for 7 days straight, until they are begging to buy all the singles of CHSIB needed to get you to no1, just to hear decent music.

On a (not too) related note, its a sad reflection on British music when a rock legend is fighting for a chart position, and tripe like Westlife go straight in at no1 with any old pap!! Sorry, I can feel a rant coming on again...

Hope everything works out.

Jen · 16 Apr 2003, 21:36

Had ordered it through Amazon UK no luck yet though.

I'll try HMV

deadringer · 16 Apr 2003, 21:46

none here in peterborough,cambs either both i and my mum(pajg76)have searched but no stores have it,WH smiths told us that it had not been released yet!but both my mum and i will buy some to help you meat.

CarylB · 16 Apr 2003, 23:10

Of course it isn;'t about money .. it's about Meat;s concern that distribution problems might impact on this wonderful CD catching the tide .. and asking our help to redress the balance .. help which I'm happy to give him ..

So let's do it .. go to

http://www.hmv.co.uk/

search meatloaf, second page, at the top!! ..

Just where he should be of course

cornish · 16 Apr 2003, 23:54

first time on everyone,been looking in for the last 2 years,but this made me register. i went to 3 towns(in cornwall ) yesterday while delivering. wh smiths & woolworths won't stock until reached top 30. in the end found it in an independant record shop.

jcmoorehead · 16 Apr 2003, 23:56

I'll go out and get about 5 tomorrow from my home town of Billingham. I'll report back when i've got them.

Cloggy · 17 Apr 2003, 00:24

Quote:

Need all in the uk and northern Ireland to go and find and buy a least 5 singles. You will all have meet and greets at the shows in your area. I will buy them back from you then give you one back signed for free! please we need you help. What city are you in where there are no singles!! please write back.

So what exactly is the reasoning behind this? :)
