There is a Fiona article, I think I posted it in this thread, were you looking for one?
 
I’m sure it will get a u.k release - has anybody ever heard of an album being released everywhere except the u.k/the artists homeland? - but whatever, it’s being released; that’s all that matters.
Duran Duran's Medazzaland in 1997. The band was in commercial freefall and the album was such a mess, so EMI didn't release the album in their homeland even though the lead single Out of My Mind had charted at #21 in the singles chart. In fact it was only a month ago that the album charted in the UK, when it was finally released on vinyl.

I added the one she tweeted - didn't think it was by her though.

February? I was hoping for a much swifter release.Better late than never I guess.
if it comes out february the first its only three months and a day,we live in a world where everyone wants things so much sooner,patience really is the greatest virtue.
 
M dont think i have forgotten about love affairs, rainbow valley,get it on the b-side of i am veronica,his voice on this classic would be sooo good.ps wonder who did the female part on this,dont think M has ever said.
 
This is brilliant news! Hopefully a release in the UK will follow. I hope the lack of a release in the UK as things currently stand isn't an indication that the UK is now the capital of woke: Terry Gilliam cancelled by the Old Vic; Graham Linehan's Father Ted the Musical axed; Kathleen Stock hounded out of her job; the same with Rosie Kay; the list goes on. When the history of these times are written, we will call this what it is - a McCarthyite witch-hunt of freedom of thought and expression.
 
I wonder why they don't mention Maladjusted in that list of vinyl reissues. SG and Mal only got CD reissues last time. Seems like a Maladjustment ;)
 
He’s a had a brilliant UK tour with more positive demand and coverage than he’s had in a decade (if you go by public response and not by ticket sales - since they’re smaller venues).

Worldwide (ex UK licensing) suggests capitol / UMG probably wanted a bigger chunk of his UK market and he said no. Id suggest he goes and give his pal Noel Gallagher a phone call and ask to release it on his sour mash label.
 
Wonder if the no-UK thing is just a bit of an attempt to build anticipation and generate some publicity before a deal is announced in a few weeks?
 
Hoping for a "World Peace" style deluxe CD with extra tracks, but no matter what, glad this is finally coming out.
