I quite like it :D

So CD and cassette on Nov 10 and vinyl on Dec 8. Assume it will get sent to radio next week or the week after. Should at least enable it to get a new peak in November, if it can do 3-4k plus 1-2k from streaming it might have a shot at the top 75, which would be nice to get.
 

BABY WHAT ARE WE HOLDIN' ON TO?​

I've been seeing all of your love for Hold On To Now, so I wanted to make something special for you! CD and cassette singles are available to pre-order now!

That’s not all… Padam Padam, Tension AND Hold On To Now 7” vinyl singles have arrived!

Head over to my store to add to your collection.

Why does it make it sound like she's doing us a huge favour? :D

The artwork should be her clutching onto a massive vinyl of the first NOW she was on. Frisbee hat, curls, the lot.

Anyway, the song is superb. Kylie's infinite impetus for clubland romance is her disco defiance, but Hold clinches even tighter. My goodness Kylie.
 
Yeah, the artwork is fine. I won't be biting but I can't see anything that would put me off if I was.

I question the timing of this release though, particularly when Tension could have benefitted from it a few weeks ago.
 
Anyway, my Tension LOON re-rate after five weeks:

10 Padam
10 Hold On To Now
11 Things We Do For Love
11 Tension
10 One More Time
11 You Still Get Me High
06 Hands
07 Green Light
09 Vegas High
06 10 Out Of 10
09 Story
07 Love Train
07 Just Imagine
11 Somebody To Love

This has the strongest opening gambit of songs from ANY Kylie album.

LOL!

They couldn't even stretch to the fucking bonus tracks? This really is becoming the ULTIMATE piss take.
 
Here for it when she releases it on quadruple cassette
 
LOL!

I WOULD think that, until I read at the weekend that Rolling Stones album comes on over 40 different vinyl variants.
 
Fingers crossed we get another vinyl edition with the extended bonus tracks, plus the streaming only bonus tracks as well, just to make it a real Kylie Christmas.
 
Meh. Hasn't the extended Disco vinyl been going dirt cheap?

I wonder if they are saving releasing the two digital only tracks physically for a deluxe deluxe next year.
 
This might sound like a stupid question but will it even count towards sales of Tension with a different title?
 
I've not been playing the album much at all recently :( there's just so much demanding my attention lately - not least Kylie's own back cat :disco: (cheeky plug for Ultimate Kylie Countdown by Jark :disco:)

:eyes:
 
HOTN has got my interest somewhat more piqued for the other extended versions. The prospect of a Vegas High that doesn't have that slow fade that comes in much too soon does appeal. I wonder if Ms Marinade will get more room to breathe on Hands...
 
I'm ready for the all important rank:

1. Story
2. Things We Do For Love
3. Hold On to Now
4. Tension
5. Padam Padam
6. Vegas High
7. You Still Get Me High
8. Somebody to Love
9. One More Time
10. 10/10
11. Green Light
12. Just Imagine
13. Hands
14. Love Train

Everything in the top 11 is at least a 9 though.
 
I love Story so much. I know it's just because it's at the end of the tracklist, but it annoys me that it has the fewest plays of all the main tracklist songs.
 
Agreed, for me Story is up with her top songs and the only one I’ve played the last two weeks. The album is very good but has had a short shelf life with me after hammering it, maybe I’m just not in the mood.
 
I don’t even remember “Story”. I’ll have to go back to it.
 
I read that it will because it comes with the original album...
It doesn't come with the original album though, does it? At least not the version up for sale on her store.

I'm trying to remember (or perhaps i just didnt understand) the justification the OCC had for separating Agnetha's A and A+ which was essentially the same thing (a remixed album with a slightly different name), but that did have at least one new track. But there were formats which included the original album and some that didn't.
 
Imagine if it DID come with the original as well. She'd probably get 4 vinyl boxset out of that. God forbid we have a running time of over 15 minutes a side.
