Me too , Steve! Me too! I remember being really disappointed when it didn't even make the Top 40 if i recall. It's like it sunk without a trace with the masses in 1986 but nowadays is regarded as a NO classic and always goes down a storm at the gigs. I did hear the Pettibone 7" once or twice on the radio back in 1986 but it never grabbed the record buying public in the UK. I did have a theory back then that if it'd been released before the album instead of State Of The Nation it would have been a bigger hit but we'll never know. I first witnessed the popularity of Pettibone 's 12" remix when i was on holiday in Toronto, Canada in the early 2000s. It came on in a bar and the previously deserted dancefloor suddenly filled with people. I thought well this is interesting! I'd previously assumed no-one was familiar with it but apparently it was a very popular track in North America. UK masses just had no taste in the 80s, they were all obsessed with Bon Jovi circa 1986 eh?

BLT was a *club* hit in the U.S. but it only hit 98 on the Hot 100.
It did get shown on MTV, because that's where I first heard it. I was watching one late afternoon and was blown away by both the song and the video, to the point that I went and bought the cassette the next day. That's what really ignited my fandom.
I was never crazy about the 7" edit, and wonder if the album version might have fared better as a single...probably not, because there's no vocals over the kitchen sink outro (which I love).
Thankfully, it's now regarded as a stone-cold classic.

My guess is Amazon either have limited stock, or Warners have been slow getting their stock to them. I notice the price has dropped to £131.35, so we'll see if that gets reflected in that Price drop guarantee thing (perhaps not if today is officially the release day, and they only dropped the price today.
Just looked and it was £157.99 when I ordered it on Amazon the day it went on sale there. In my orders it's now showing as £139.26 But yes, the actual price today is now showing as £131.35 but that's a 3rd party seller "All Your Music" (hence no Prime delivery) If you navigate to the Amazon listing it's £139.26, so it will still end up being 20 quid less than at order date

I hope so! The price of these (admittedly wonderful) sets just keep getting pricier. £135 will be much better than £159. £24 better, in fact. Thats three pints worth of good beer. Edited by user 22 November 2024 09:27:25(UTC)

I’m probably over-egging it a bit. But good beer costs £7-£7.50 a pint in these here parts. And about the same for 2/3rds of an even better beer. But I digress… Back on topic. Really like the State Of The Nation demo. Those two Japan demos are the highlights for me (audio wise). My word, that Every Little Counts ending is a bit BIG. Not that I dislike it, but I think they were wise to rein it in for the LP. Edited by user 22 November 2024 10:18:51(UTC)

Can't find a cheaper price in Australia than Amazon Oz - $198 delivered vs $350 on Warners AUS! It's listed as a DVD though so maybe harder to find so here's the link: https://www.amazon.com.a...00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Edited by user 22 November 2024 17:10:04(UTC)
