I ordered all three formats of the new single on Friday from The Rock Box (England) website and received the below email today. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!!!
Just to let you know that the Morrissey single All You Need Is Me has been cancelled by the record company, sorry for the inconvenience caused, apparently the record company decided to cancel it as the new album will be released sooner than expected!!!?

I assume this close to the date of AYNIM's release that everything has been pressed, printed and packaged. Is there any reason the single can't be held back as the first off the new album after it comes out? All they'd have to do is produce a sticker that mentions the album title and slap it on the various formats.
A little disappointed I won't hear those b-sides for a while, but I can wait.

Could you perhaps apply the same principles to the stuff that really matters for once? The music?

Even if we have to wait til the first single from the new LP to hear these songs, does it really matter? Are these songs going to REALLY be anything we haven't heard before? No. It's been 25 years...the man has said everything he is ever going to say. Yes, he sometimes still says it very interestingly; but we are past, I think, the earth-shattering days.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure they will be good songs. But c'mon, people...relax. All this cancellation means is that we don't have to buy the same single 18 times to hear all the new songs that could be on ONE release, if he -oh, sorry, I mean "He" - wanted them to be.
So now the single is cancelled, and see all the little ants scurry.
Wah-wah.

Don't you think that Moz decided to put these new songs on the new album instead and not "waste" them as B-sides? It seems to me that that is pretty obviously what is going on here.
Anyone???

also:
on amazon.de it says that "All You Need Is Me/Children In Pieces" is not on stock.
The Vinyl-Singles are available from 2 American Online-Shops. One of them says that the Vinyl-Singles are second-hand (sic).
