As for Jack replacing Meg, at least he kept the balance by changing the men to women and the kick drum from a woman to a man. Rita Hayworth?

Yes, he does think of those details. Rita to Gregory. Were they ever in a film together...?

In the vault chat Jack said Meg had a crush on Gregory, and Jack had a crush on Rita. That's probably the connection, because they weren't in any films together.

Yeah, I saw that, too. Someone should have put the two of them into a film together, though, it would've been spectacular.

Just wondering - the other half of the lenticular cover is from the Blue Orchid b/w The Nurse single right? Guessing that won't be reissued.

yes, same cover.

why wouldn't it be reissued?

Great point. A lenticular back cover would make this so much better and would fix the problem with Meg's pic missing.

I thought this would be cool myself, but it doesn't sound like that's the case. On the printing company's Instagram, they were asked about it. They said only the front would be lenticular and that the picture of Meg on the promo wouldn't be incorporated into this version. And that picture has since been removed from their Instagram. I'm so excited to finally have GBMS on vinyl, but I am slightly bummed it won't include that great picture from the promo. I'm curious why Jack chose to recreate that picture with himself in it (especially, as others have mentioned, with a current picture of himself). Seems a little odd.

I had assumed it was because they wanted a new, never-seen-before picture for the promo, to emphasize that this is something new (his current retro look actually matches Meg's in the picture, more than a shot from 2005 would do). And I had also thought maybe both pictures would be used as inserts. But if they're not using the Meg picture . . .

Unrelated but don't see a thread anywhere. I'm seeing stuff about a big announcement soon. Wheres this coming from?

From Jack.

The same quantity as most of their RSD releases "unknown".

Rough Trade do sell at a premium, but I can't see this being less than £35 elsewhere in the UK.
