MVC Hounslow promised faithfully they would have a copy of the album today 21st April - I've had this on order for a while - Rang Friday/Saturday to confirm delivery everything o.k.

This morning I rang again to confirm so I didn't have a wasted journey and guess what they will not be having any copies of the album for 7/10 days - I enquired why - I had a mumbled reply "Its just one of those things" I cancelled my order forwith -I cannot believe the way this particular branch is run its not for the paying customer thats for sure

I feel better after that!

Go to I Need your Help for news on another store in Hounslow
thanxs

Went to Kingston yesterday HMV No single but 7 arriving midweek Wed/Thurs plenty of albums I suppose I should give them a star for trying an incy wincy bit

Virgin 1 single left I bought it (total 3) - no pre-orders to be fulfilled or re-ordering as far as the spokesperson knows - album 7 in stock no plans again to re-order

thats how it makes me feel

Got the album from Woolworths in Pontefract, though there was no single and when I asked they just looked at me like I had killed their cat, but at least they had the album which is more than can be said for ASDA, Which had every other album by every other artsist/bands availible apart from CHSIBM , which to me says that surley it should be higher in the charts?, mind you, if it was attomic kitten, busted or some other pile of pants then it would be number 1

Meat said yesterday that the album is at #2 in the midweek charts

Would be surprised if anyone found the album in one of the big supermarkets :o. I've worked for Tesco for 15 years

and I know the chart changes take place in stores on a Monday.Therefore do not expect to see the album in such places until next week

On holiday at the moment and I don't go anywhere near work if Ican help it,therefore cannot comment on if it's on the sale or not.I do have a contact at one of the distributors so when I go back on Monday will contact him to find out how it all works

Renegade Angel · 24 Apr 2003, 21:45

The album had been in at ASDA but they had all gone and there was a little space where it should go.

The album is in Tesco's,(in this area) My hubby purchased a copy from a store outskirts of ipswich(suffolk) yesterday.it's number 15 in their charts. not had too much difficulty getting single HMV had about 30 copies virgin had about 20. haven't been back since album was released, but know it's available in Tesco's.

Went around Swansea today - In Woolworth the CHSIB album is #7 on thier charts, but when i asked them about the single they looked at me as though i'd gone demented

Our Price music was a little better - CHSIB single was at #12 in thier charts, with about 5 copies left, and they had loads of the album in the new releases section.
HMV - Loads of the album, bought another 2 copies of the single, and asked a spotty, sullen teen if they had any more to be given a look that could have withered plants, and asked ' well how many do you want???' when i asked him how many they had left in stock, i thought he was gonna pitch a fit at the thought of actually going to use the puter to check. Well, they had ten left, so i told him ever so politely that he'd better go and restock his shelves as i'd taken the last two copies. If looks could kill, they'd be embalming me now

WHSmith had a few copies of the album, but no copies of the single, the bloke was charming though, and told me that they should have some coming in tomorrow due to go on the shelves on monday.
Never thought of looking in tesco's or asda...will do that tomorrow...
