Neither WHSmith nor Woolworth's (the only record shops in Whitehaven) are stocking "God Save the Queen" which has been re-released by the Sex Pistols. Is this the same everywhere? Have I stumbled across a Government conspiracy to rig the charts this weekend, just like in 1977? Is this the last time I will be heard of in public?

Steve - Up the Republic - Sherwen

Vive la republique !!

No doubt they are. They constantly rig the charts.

No doubt they are. They constantly rig the charts. Why do you think there is so much $h1t in them these days (poop idol bollox)

Why not be a true anarchist and download it as a free mp3? :D

oops - double post :rolleyes:

Buy the Billy Bragg single instead!! :D

Or don't get the song at all.
What sort of rebellion/anarchy means having a record contract, going through the standard distribution channels, performing live in an organised event etc.
Re-unions/re-releases - one of the ultimate commercial stunts.

Anarchy can exist, but there is no such thing as an anarchist. They'll always be conforming to someone's ideal.

I shall also quote Morrissey while I'm on a rant - 'Re-issue! Re-package! Re-Evaluate the songs, double pack witha photograph. Extra Track (and a tacky badge), A-List, playlist !Please them, please them"
So appropriate.
