In 3 years the music landscape has completely changed again and in 3 years from now it will have decreased even further. They might not have the budget to send CD singles out and realistically there are only a handful of physical stores that will stock them anyway. The charts mean nothing in this day and age.It costs pennys to produce vinyl records and they will make a profit easily by doing these limited singles. Jarvis can do wahtever he likes. For all i know he has a vault full of unreleased material, no one knows just how many songs were recorded with Steve Albini and whatever he releases is up to him.

There are plenty of unreleased Pulp songs and I guess a few Jarvis ones now.
Dare I say it I think the limited edition is based on what they expect to sell. Fat kidz (7") and Angela both were limited, but there were plenty of them in the central London HMVs/Fopp a few weeks after they were released.
I'd like a mp3 release too. I'd like to use this song to play when I DJ from time to time. It's gonna be awkward for me to even listen to it on vynal - I like this song. I wanna listen to it when I want!

Oh boy you're gonna get killed !
May i just say, if i can, refering to the post above yours. Jarvis can't get new fans if he releases highly limited singles. Just saying. dont get mad people !

That was my point too. I was also pointing out the following confused spelling, which suggests that fans and collectors are low in numbers:

Hooray, they´ve listened to our protests - or maybe had planned on an mp3 all along. Now all we need is a quirky Jarvis-directed video to go with it.
I´ve just listened to the 30 sec sample on amazon - hmm, I´m not sure how well Albini´s sound works. Then again I was a bit disappointed at how Lefovers and I Never Said I Was Deep turned-out after gorging on live renditions of them. Maybe this will be the case again... And there´s one lyrical alteration already to how he sang it live last year, the second part of the verse starts with ´´Take it slow´´ rather than repeating ´´Don´t you know...´´.

I like to think my rant on the official site (and here) backed by you has something to do with it (though i highly doubt it). Vinyl is good, i love it, love playing songs on my shitty turntable, but i also like making my "own" Further Complications LP, and the digital version will allow me to do so.
And about the sound of the song : i guess, like you, we're so used to the live version that the studio version sounds weird. but that was also the feeling i got hearing the album, now i love it.
Would you look at that! Just when pipe up with my humble opinion everything changes! For the record I'd also like to see an end to conflict in the middle east & and world poverty.
Yes James - can you not see we´ve spent this thread arguing about a digital release?! And thus, as has been mentioned above, a digital release there shall be.
