For anyone who missed the email:

"Dear friends,

Amazing, amazing, Steve's record might actually go right up into the
top 5 of the UK album charts -- all without any BBC radio playlisting
or anything. This was done all by you -- People power!

We've got an opportunity for this record to really do well and to
prove that it's not just the manufactured mainstream that can get it
into the charts. So if any of you already had plans to buy the album,
but haven't got around to it yet, we sure would appreciate you doing
it this week so it counts towards our "week-of-release" chart
position.

We gonna show 'em!

As always, it's difficult to express how much Steve and I appreciate
your continued support.

All the best,

The Skunk =) "

Well, I got all excited and ordered another copy of the CD and a copy of the vinyl - I'll put them aside for christmas presents! I'm embarrassed to admit that means I've already bought 4 copies in all - 2 x CD, 1 x iTunes (for those two extra tracks), 1 x vinyl. Me thinks thats my pocket money gone until July!
