That version of "The Bachelor" is haunting. I think it gives more of a tortured emotion. My favourite is the "Teignmouth" demo--it competes with the album version for me. I wasn't expecting "Vaeety Braeu" to sound so different; it's a little more chaotic, but I love it for that. I'll have the thing more spins. I made the mistake of peeling the sticker, too. I saw it left a mark, so I tried using the sticker to pull it off, and now I just have a huge chunk with no gloss. He should definitely release more demos.

It's such a lovely ep, and they have printed more than 500, at least when we bought it at the shop yesterday it was numbers 1065 to 1067... Love the manx They are showing up on eBay with 1300+ numbers. So its indeed not limited to 500 copies Also, why peel off that sticker when it indicates the number of your copy?

The 1300+ numbers don't quite add up: if the album has sold 2000 odd copies to get into the mid-weeks... over half of those would have had to come from Rough Trade, right? Am I missing something? The whole numbers thing makes me sweat.
Cheerio, Michael. xxx

Can you buy the EP just on its own? ... If so, then that's obviously why. But it wasn't advertised that way.

Ive asked rough trade, who many copies the printed.
Answer: There are 500 only. For some reason it has been numbered by the artist in with a 4 digit number beginning with 1 so people assume that there are more. There aren't. We have been assured there are only 500.

Gahhhh I want to know if mine has made it over the pond yet. I can only assume it was mailed out heading toward Texas on 06/02 since they debited me then. That numbering thing is kinda weird. :/

Dead worried. I ordered it from Rough Trade at the weekend, got an order number but never got a confirmation e-mail. Have e-mailed them about it, but no one has replied. Therefore, they are gay. Cheerio, Michael. xxx yeh i never got a confirmation email either, and i forgot to write down the number oops, i just emailled them so will wait and see grrr

I'm loving this EP!
**spoilers** I really like the changed lyrics in Teignmouth. Listening to Vaeety Bareu right now - it's erm, interesting. Anyone know what language it's in? Maybe Romanian?

I actually think that The Spinster EP is better than The Bachelor.

You can't particularly compare a five song EP (which pretty much just contains different versions of previously heard material) to a full length album.

I think at the moment I'm preferring the version of The Bachelor on the EP - probably because I've listened the album version to death, mind.
