Quote:

Exotic Creatures if The Deep will be released in Germany on 4th October and will be available in all major music stores. The album will be released on Lil Beethoven Records and distributed by Al!ve


first of all:


so, i hope sparks take their chance and do a huge promotion for it, including tours with at least 5 concerts in the south( )

Mr demotime or anyone..what about streetteams or something?
will the german release also include the dvd / extra track like the japanese?

if they send promo copies of lighten up morrissey and/or good morning to enough radio stations, if they send enough copies to magazines and music websites i think they could easily come to more success than with Lil B and HYL

well i think morrissey would have better chances in germany because its like more "radio friendly"..
i think for somebody who isnt familiar with russells falsetto, good morning is a bit hard to get.
Morrissey is of course quite popular, especially in the "indie"-scene. not as much as in the uk though.

i dont think its any better than the rest of the album but it surely would be a sensible choice for a single because it is catchy even for those who never heard of sparks. just look at the comments on the song on youtube!
Good Morning is a damn fine tune but his strong falsetto is just not that easy to get by the first listen.

no it wouldnt be a no 1 hit, those times are over - today scooter/britney spears faggots have no 1 singles.. but Lighten Up would do quite well i think if they released it on proper single format, do a videoclip and good promo for it..

There is still a possibility that Morrissey will be a UK single-hopefully.It might accompany one or two UK concerts in the new year nicely.Yes i know America and some other regions have had no concerts recently.If i remember correctly the BBC single did not come out until 1996-yonks after the album came out,and it accompanied a UK London show with funky set design.Simon Mayo was onboard the decks too that night.

deano,i went to that forum gig,simon mayo who gave gs& sv such good promotion was given the introduction honour as a gesture from ron & russ,it was set on the goodship sparks,good gig and i saw a hero of mine the now sadly departed billy Mckenzie..hope your right about the mozza single,i think it should have been the first one and on a physical format,the reason being you would have got the sparks fans plus morrissey collectors buying the single which would have been interesting.

its not in the top 50!

would've been surprising if it charted higher than in the uk eh?

dont know where to find a top 100 album chart.
