Chris, either you've got some ear or I'm deaf or some
combination of the two.  Did JTH strike anyone else as
being particularly poorly produced?  Where, Chris, for
example, can you hear the bits that have been stuck
together?  I'd be interested to know.

Song preference is fairly arbitrary.  I'm sure Drip
Fed Fred will still be a single and think that the
only other one which would have done was Elysium,
which probably would've fared only about as well as
Yesterday's Men IMHO.  From the radio station
appearance and US concerts a few months ago, it was
JTH which really stood out live, not Lovestruck, which
went Top 10.

This I cannot judge, not being anywhere where either
JTH or Wonderful will be released.

If they don't hear the song and it's not promoted, it
can't possibly put them off the album, can it?  People
who like Madness like Madness and will buy Wonderful. 
It's not a thing that requires a lot of marketing, I
don't think.  As long as Madness' fans--incl. the
casual ones--know that there's an album, that's good
enough.

I hope so; if not, there are other songs....
