First single from 'Playing The Angel' released... again! This time as a limited edition picture disc 7", which fans have been asking for for roughly a year now!
When Mute released a seven inch picture disc for "A Pain That I'm Used To", fans were excited by what seemed to be a one off. When a likewise was released for subsequent singles "Suffer Well" and "John The Revelator", collectors were keen to complete the set with a seven inch picture disc of "Precious".
It all started as an idea on the collector website www.depmod.com, which spawned a worldwide petition amongst collectors. The objective was to make Mute aware of how popular these picture disc 7"s are, and hopefully persuade them to issue one for "Precious".
And now? Success!! Last week Mute UK quietly slipped the 7" into their webstore. The "Precious" 7" (featuring the single version and Michael Mayer's Ambient Mix) comes with a collectible box that holds all the "Playing The Angel" seven inch releases. The set is limited to 10,000 numbered editions and sells via Mute's online record-store. |
