HW: CD-Single review

[bernhard.pospiech]

Hi Alan


>It appears to me that the CD single 2 was edited to make it less than 10
minutes (running time 9.59! on my
>player), but I can't think of a reason why.  Cost less to press?  Or is it
so it's not classed as an EP.
>Anyone?

If it was for the costs then it is a shame


>Apart from that, delighted to have some new HW fare. Roll on 12th
September.

Agreed! I expect the new CD to be a very good one!!!
Countdown: T -9
