But all the re-mastered singles are being re-released one by one week by week....

There is a campaign to make Fools Gold number one on facebook


"The original Stone Roses singles have been re-mastered by John Leckie & Ian Brown and are set for weekly re-release from July in the lead up to the album being re released on 10th August.

Fools Gold is the 4th single to be released in this series on 27th July.

Remarkably, this British masterpiece recorded around the same time as "The Greatest Album Of All Time" (NME) never made it higher up the charts than No. 8.

Its time we showed our appreciation of this amazing record, and this time around, we get it to No.1 in the UK charts.

Fools Gold is one of the greatest records to come out of the history of bristish music, lets make this happen."

Whats your source for this info?

They are being released one at a time in the lead up to the album coming out.

Elephant Stone will come out in a limited edition 7" box with 5 art prints, you will then need to collect the remaining 7"'s to complete the box. The boxes are numbered and there will only be 5000 of each single made, so if you want them - you better get in there quick!

All singles will be released as downloads, and itunes will have exclusive versions which will include some new backwards tracks as the b-sides.

Fools Gold will be released as limited edition 7" (for the box), CD and download.

Eveyone needs to join the facebook group - the more that join, the more the press get on board and the more we can show the band how much they are STILL adored.

Holy fuck they really are going all out to milk this cashcow!

So, let's talk gigs. Are we going to see a gig with the full band? Seems a LOT of effort and hype for a re-issue.

So do you work for $ony then? Are the lads going to get it on and do some gigs for us?

Or is it just the regular milking of Roses fans we come to expect from record companies?

No way are they doing gigs. If these lads put a gig on it will be the hottest news day for some time so they would never keep it a secret.
