We did get the Desert Rose and Fill Her Up demos as Bs on the Fragile single, but because no other singles from ...All This Time were commercially released (or even really worked to radio, for that matter), there wasn't any other opportunity to add any other songs. You never though, though... Stingus is reporting that 3 singles from the new album will be worked; that opens up possibilities. Actually, most CDs have dropped in price - and becoming value-enhanced at the same time (music videos, interviews, weblinks to exclusives, added tracks, bonus CDs/DVDs, etc.) - to dissuade people against illegal downloading. But if you're still paying $19.99 for your CDs (single disc), you really ought to shop somewhere else - that's mostly the retail markup that you are paying. Best Buy has the best prices around. Target and Circuit City also have decent prices and a good selection... with some exclusives as well. Steve

I agree that the Sting b-sides have been weak. What ever happened to the much promised (during the BND discussion) of early demos as B-Sides. I'd take that over all these garbage remixes.

And 10 songs on a CD with the increasing price and declining value of CDs is bad news. You'd think they'd put as much as they could on the cds to give more value to the consumer to purchase it. Like DVDs are doing. I wonder if they will put an exclusive website link and a video on the CD? 10 songs on the US release seems thin.
