View Full Version : Exclusive single on iTunes?
Just got an email from 'Get Rock' it had this:
The Living End
ARIA Rock Album of the Year, White Noise, is to be re-released in March as a special repackage - featuring an extra disc with 11 unreleased rarities track. The album has already become one of the biggest in 2008, just an inch away from Platinum. And now the iconic band head out on the road with their Raise The Alarm tour, taking in heaps of dates around the country. Check out information and dates for the tour at their official website. Catch the band playing their new single Raise The Alarm on Rove, and grab an exclusive version of the single on iTunes, this weekend.
what could the exclusive single be?

I put this in the Rarities thread earlier tonight. Couldn't be bothered making a new one :p
I wonder what 'exclusive' means? Extra b-sides maybe?
hope not!
I'm kinda sick of bands doin the 'exclusive iTunes' thing
Call me old fashioned but i hate download formats - crappy compressed files! Plus if my hard drive crashes at least i have a CD-Quality disc in a case :P

Sounds good. I wonder what it could be. An old demo or a recording of November or something.
It could be something we have anyway. Umm...Hopeless?

More B-sides I'm praying! That's the only thing that could constitute an 'exclusive' release that I can think of :)

Um, Chris said it was going to be Faith, did you think it was going to be one that we don't have yet?
Big J.G

Chris actually said it was one that we don't have yet "You may have the demo, but not this version".
By the way: http://ariacharts.com.au/pages/chartifacts.htm
It went to Number 86.

No.
But beacuse people said it was going too be an exclusive single i thought there might have been some more exclusive songs as with every other itunes single for this album.

Do you think that means iTunes ONLY?
God I hope not. The whole point of a phyisical single for me is to show off my music collection. Oh well.
Yeh Raise The Alarm is iTunes DIGITAL SINGLE ONLY :(
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=305177308&s=143460
I'm not really fussed, I have Raise The Alarm on soon to be 3 white noise albums and Faith will be on the rarities next weekend in CD-Quality. I'm still happy:)

i rekon until we hear from the band or managment or something that we shouldnt make judgment.
as if they would release a single ONLY on itunes. and if they have i dont think its very smart.
thats how they became prince of a town called bel-air
poo. who has been making these decisions!? arghhhhhhhhh.
:sleep:

Yeah, i hardly think this is conclusive, I'm pretty certain that it'll have a physical release.

I don't think thats good either. Because you will find more people in a CD stores "having a browse" then people on the iTunes store "having a browse".
The in the shops, they see RTA and be like "Oh! The Living End's new single, I'll grab that!". But on iTunes they'll be like....nah, I've already got the album. And I already have Faith from Rarities, and from the Free Download..for Free.
Not many people like having an MP3 in their music collection twice. I don't know anyone that doesn't like a CD single.
Also...not everyone likes iTunes/Uses iTunes/Knows how to use iTunes.

I Really cant see them doing a tour for a single without releasing it as a physical copy

It would seem so, unless we get proved otherwise.

After the poor sales of the last single, I don't a physical single is going to materialize.
I would love there to be one, but its not looking good. I think the clip and choice of song for the single is a big advertisement for the tour, and the bonus edition of the album is what they will be flogging.

the last single meaning moment in the sun? I agree.. bit of a wet song. It's good but there are far better songs on the album.

I reckon MITS was a decent single but I reckon this one is a lot better! :D
MITS wasn't flogged as much as WN and now, RTA. It's not the song's fault! :D
i need a physical RTA single...my CD rack has a space under MITS to fill :L
:D

I might just make my own copy of the single if it doesn't get released :p
