I mentioned this release on the Dido discussion group I'm on, but forgot
to mention it here. If you're that interested, the discussion group is
at http://www.egroups.com/group/no-angel/. It gets a little bit petulant
at times so maybe worth subscribing to the digest.
Can't remember the exact release date for "No Angel" in the UK, it was a
few weeks ago. I was disappointed to find that the CD is _exactly_ the
same as the US version I've already got, apart from the record company
logos and catalogue number- the UK release bears the Cheeky Records logo
as well as the Arista logo.

With Moby and the Pet Shop Boys, the US has been lucky a few times; I
still get maxi-singles from those artists sent over 'cos they have so
many more tracks than the UK equivalent. And Moby in the UK has been
subject to _major_ overkill.
Thanks for the information on the Dido singles, it's much appreciated.
If you ever happen across a second copy of any of the promo CDs you've
mentioned, please let me know...
I don't know about any plans to release a Dido single in the UK- with
the Eminem single now out I imagine that it could be just around the
corner, to capitalise on it. I'll post here if I hear anything.
Stuart.
