So sounds like the boards here had a bit of a hiccup and this thread got deleted. ;D
So here I go again! Sorry if any of you replied when I initially posted, but I came back and the thread was gone so I didn't see any of it...
Patrick tweeted a few times last month about making more b-sides. Is this like a b-sides collection or was he just talking about ones to go with future singles? I hope it's the first...
Tweets in question:
@_PATRICK_WOLF so will there be more b sides aswell as the album? xo
@adora_boy yes! B side mixing starts next week.. #norestforthewicked hope you are fine + lovely X P
Just mastered bsides. real dark personal treasures for you been keeping in the box for too long. Time to cut the snakes off medusa innit x p
Thanks!

I'd assume that he "just" meant b-sides for the coming single(s). Hopefully more of them for the digital The City single than just Sing, which is on the 7". I'm hoping for fan favorites that wouldn't fit with the theme of the actual album. Also, am I alone in assuming that Sing might be the a cappella part in THIS video? /t |

oh maybe! Sounds like it could be. I hope I can find Sing somewhere when people start getting their copies

You're right. That might be it! Only four more weeks to wait...  |

Guess we'll just have to wait and see!  He really should put out a rarities album though, perhaps a digital only release to save money. I would think he'd have enough backlog now to make one.  |

no digital singles! too many past problems with regional crap and my own issues with the iTunes shop not working.
If they package it up so I can hold it in my hand I'll be willing to pay more than $1 a song! haha

There was a free demo download of Wolf Song some time ago which came up as 'Teratology' on my ipod. Wasn't that supposed to be the name of a planned release of demos/rarities?

Or maybe something like Bandcamp (I'm not sure how that works either, I think it's region free?) but not *JUST* iTunes for a digital only release. Of course if he did a b-side project it'd be super nice if he just...you know...gave it away for free. NO REGION PROBLEM THERE! |

I am actually quite disappointed with the outcome of this. According to THIS, the tracklisting for the digital single is this: 1 The City 2 The City (Richard X Remix) 3 The City (Karaoke Mix) 4 Video Firstly, where is Sing? Not in the digital bundle, despite this being a "proper" single release unlike Time Of My Life. Secondly, ONE remix only? Not only did the aforementioned ("real dark personal treasures...") b-sides mysteriously disappear, but there's not even remixes in their place? Maybe I'm just overreacting, but what happened to the incentive for buying the singles? And what happened to the b-sides? This is just plain lazy. /t |

Oh no  One of the great things about PWolf singles was usually the lovely b-sides. Grar. |

Sigh.
Well at least it's on the 7". :/
I wonder how much (if any) of this has to do with his new label...

I'm really concerned about this label.
The City is now out for release but, apart from iTunes, it is being sold as a single MP3 without even the real cover art (see Amazon UK, Play, Tesco Entertainment, 7digital). Wow, you're really going to entice people to buy it when it doesn't compare to the mega video/remix/acoustic digital bundles you get from all artists these days. iTunes may be the biggest online store, but it's not covering ALL bases.
If this doesn't sell anything, it's going to be because of poor label promotion and not because of the music.

it's off topic, but i loathe itunes!
anything apple really.
i might be real old school, but i prefer physical releases over anything downloaded a thousand times, and patrick is sadly not the only artist that went from having awesome b-sides on every single version to having maybe one b-side or only remixes or just an "album version" and a "radio edit" ... urgh. :/
i do love "sing" though. and i don't mind having to crop it from the 7 inch but it clearly would be easier if there was a proper download option (aka nothing itunes)
