The Only One + Ny Trip officially confirmed.

[feebee42]

I've pre-ordered the CD single from Amazon.co.uk, and just noticed today that they've dropped the price from £3.99 down to £1.98. That's good news!
No mention of a 'collector's box' to store the 4 singles in, though  :(

[~*CherryRed*~]

I've pre-ordered mine through HMV. All up it has come to around A$30.00, so am not terribly unhappy with that! I can relax knowing I have mine on their way after the 13th!

RSX is back to posting on the official site.

THE MAJOR CONFUSION
5/7/2008 1:45:12 PM - by CURE:ROBERT

A FEW OF THE MORE IRRITATING FALSEHOODS FLOATING AROUND...

1)
"THERE IS A "SPECIAL VERSION" OF THE FIRST CD SINGLE "THE ONLY ONE""

NO THERE ISN'T
ANYONE THAT OFFERS OR CLAIMS ANY KIND OF "SPECIAL" VERSION OF THE FIRST SINGLE - WITH A BOX OR A FREE HOLIDAY OR WHATEVER - IS EITHER LYING OR STUPID
OR BOTH

2)
"THERE IS NO USA VERSION OF THE FIRST CD SINGLE "THE ONLY ONE""

YES THERE IS
ITS JUST THE MIGHTY UNIVERSAL CANT GET IT TOGETHER TO EITHER
A) GET AMAZON ETC TO LIST IT
OR
B) GET IT OUT ON THE 13TH... IT WILL BE AVAILABLE AT $2.99 (OR THEREABOUTS) FROM MAY 20TH

APPARENTLY "NO-ONE BUYS CD'S ANYMORE"...
UNSURPRISING IF THEY ARE NOT AVAILABLE EH?!!

3)
"X,Y OR Z HAVE 'EXCLUSIVE X,Y OR Z' REGARDING THE FIRST CD SINGLE "THE ONLY ONE""

NO THEY DON'T
IT WILL BE AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE
IT IS NOT EXCLUSIVE TO ANY RETAILER

AND...

NO...
THATS IT FOR NOW!

BUT I AM SURE I WILL BE BACK..

RSX



So, there you go.  No collectors box, no free holiday, no exclusive versions.

Hahahaha.... Nice to have The Boss clear that all up!

i really enjoyed The Only One live, or please project as it was the first time. but i dislike the official version, it dissapointed me, after i had such high expectatios from hearing it live. i prefer the arrangement of the older version. im not a big fan of the mixing, and i do hope the vinyl has better mastering this time around.
i think ill buy the Only One single - only because of the art, and Bside. NY trip, i think is alot better than the Only one - porl's guitar playing and the piano do it for me.
um.. does anyone know why Target.com is saying - "This single will be the first of four collectable singles released prior to the album. All formats will be limited collectors editions."

I think and hope that the album will be more interesting...

[rodney]

Will the US have the digital download option tomorrow, or will we have to wait a week like for the CD release?

[kissingcrimson]

Doesn't NY trip in places sounds like a faster beat of "the big hand"? or is it just me?
