That moment when you already have a signed Sailing To Philadelphia CD. It wasn't me who got MK to sign it though, it was a gift to me from a friend. So if I would ever happen to win this, I'll send it to somebody who would want it. I never approached MK to sign anything, that's just too stressful to me. When I was a kid, I once brought a scratchplate from my Squier Strat to Mark's show in St Peter, thinking maybe I'll get a chance of getting the signature, but it never happened.

Yes, only 3, and all it takes is just a email, so the chances of winning are microscopic.

It really is. Why don't bring out a deluxe edition with the live songs, B sides, unreleased material maybe. Look at Floyd, Dylan... They all do it. But instead his team is uploading the same videos who have been on YT for years and years

About marketing, haven't you read the hints on Guys forum? Maybe the artist himself isn't so keen on releasing stuff. I totally agree that the marketing around MK is bad, it has been for years. If he wanted more marketing, I think he would have told his management to do so. I really don't understand it, but I know that Guy knows how frustrated we are about it.

I just had a look at Springsteens merchandise for the new album, already for sale on his site. In addition to t-shirts and a hoodie (really nice at the back! More subtle than the awful bike and wings on the MK hoodie), there is a christmas ornamental for the tree, and a nice pint glass. I liked it  :)

Nah, it will be a 'special' 5 disc box set featuring all 5 tracks from the original album each one subtly EQ'd by 5db at varying frequencies, there will be a competition to guess the correct frequencies with the prize being.....

You guessed it a signed CD!

Cost will be at least £100, double for long time fans!.....

 ;) ;D

29 songs recorded for this albüm i suppose. For privateering 30+ probabliy all the other albums has a lot of left outs too.

For celebration this great record, you get another CD of the record. Really i mean really crap behavior.
