There really are some wonderful tracks to go with this release - we always want to try make our b-sides top notch for you guys, so without further ado... On the CD is a live version of the Neil Diamond song 'Cherry, Cherry', recorded on the Dermot O'Leary show on BBC Radio 2. You may have heard us perform it in our 'skiffle' guise at Lock Tavern or Blue Flowers way back when... happy days! Anyway the track got such a great reaction, we've put it on here, so enjoy. On 7" Vinyl #1 there is a new song for you called 'Go Slowly'. You can grab the snippet on our myspace or watch it being recorded here on our youtube site: http://uk.launch.yahoo.com/festival-... Finally, on 7" Vinyl #2 is 'One More Lie-In Part 2' the closing part of 'One More Lie in' from our album 'Everythings the Rush'.(If you havent got the album yet 'Everything's the Rush' is just £5.99 on iTunes here - http://www.apple.com/uk/itunes/affil... - at the mo in their mid-season sale, so no excuse!)

It went so well for us, we loved doing this. We played 3 songs as a full band - 'Touchdown', 'Friends are False' and 'Keep It Simple' - and we then went and played some songs acoustic in the back of a VW Van, probably our most intimate gig yet... have to say we think they turned out blinding, hope you like them too.

Head on over to www.youtube.com/DelaysWorld now to see the debut of our brand new 'Keep It Simple' video, starring none other than Ewen Macintosh aka 'Keith from The Office'. We hope you enjoy watching it as much as we did making it. Ewen was a real legend and a great sport! Stay tuned for behind the scenes footage of the making of the video coming soon.

Thanks for all your help in getting this out there, we couldn't do it without you. AARON DOES IT AGAIN For those of who he didn't know, Aaron was chosen to be the official NME.com Euro 2008 pundit, due to his freakily correct prediction of Greece as Euro 2004 champs the last time around. Well, the boy's only done and gone it again, as reported here today - successfully picked Spain to win Euro 2008, revealing that his predictive skills are "...just intuition, I speak from the heart, I'm the real deal...I just woke up that morning we did the predictions and I saw red. Not in angry way, but in a matador way. They were fucking amazing!" There you have it - not since Derek Acorah has a mind been blessed with such supernatural powers. Roll on Euro 2012 is all we’re saying...we know where our money will be going!

	DELAYS NEED YOU!!!	573 days ago
	DELAYS NEED YOU! The time is drawing near...we're not going to beat around the bush: we need you guys to rally round and send the album sky high in the first week of its release on 5 May. We're really proud of it, and we need folks to know we mean business. So let's fucking have it! If we get a Top 20 album midweek or, dare we say it, a Top 10 midweek, it means we're on the right course to get people's attention and start getting more radio and video play. The first week is more important than any other, so if you're considering buying it another time, please rethink and get it on day one, as it'll make a massive difference. Save up your pennies and get involved: tell your friends, your mums, your dads, your colleagues and your dentists to all pop down to their local record shop on Monday 5 May or better still, pre-order it on Amazon.co.uk for the bargain price of £6.98 here so that people see it top the pre-order chart and, wherever it ends up next week, know you had a hand in it. We wouldn't be doing this without you, so thanks, thanks and thanks again. (Spread the word) Love Greg, Aaron, Colin & Rowly (aka Delays) x P.S. put your ‘Everything’s The Rush’ CD in your PC when you get it home. There’s a little message from us waiting to be watched, especially for you J P.P.S. just found out that both the Mirror and the Guardian have awarded us 4* album reviews!! How’s that for a bank holiday bonus? Get in! Have a great weekend everyone, roll on Monday!
