Yeah I've always found amazon.co.uk to get me things on the release date. L+S is certainally in the shops though I noted I was the first person to pick one off the shelf at 5.30 on Monday night.

Ah. So we know there are at least 9 more copies out there somewhere then, Toby?

Well they're probably still there, although I know of one other Mike fan in Edinburgh. I really don't know why Amazon haven't got it yet, have people who ordered it from Play.com recieved it? I've found them to be pretty good in past too. The reason I didn't order it online this time was that I remember placing an order for the release of Tres Lunas and then it was delayed in the Uk for about a month for some up the arse of WEA Spain reason. anyway hope you all get it before the weekend.

I think in the UK they just aren't bothering at all. Mercury probably know where to put their resources and their money is best spent in promoting it round Europe where Mike does have more of a fan base. Just a theory anyway.

Aha! There is movement on Amazon uk. My order is now marked as 'Dispatching soon', so presumably they have searched the length and breadth of the UK and found one. I suppose now they're trying to find a stamp for the parcel.

That means there are only 8 left out there now....
