I'm in favour of the music being heard by as many new fans as possible, but releasing singles quietly without video or promotion is not gonna achieve that. It will only provide a collectors item for the kind of die-hard fans that read this website. I'm sure if Green wanted his record company to adopt a different strategy he could pick up the phone! I've been a Scritti fan since the days of Wood Beez and the Scritti Crush Crew but my days of buying every single and expensive Japanese imports are over. I'm happy to own the album and leave it at that! Richard W,

Any word on what tracks might appear as B-sides? Personally, “Robin Hood” would’ve been my pick for a single, but “After Six” is a good choice as well.

It's the record company's role. Not the merciless touring to promote. And yes, I'd prefer to see green go on to his next project rather than exhaust himself playing gigs for any reason other then he now enjoys playing gigs. For the record, re-the periods of Scritti history, i was a rabid fan in 78/79, lost a little interest around 'Songs' and totally phased out for Cupid and Psyche and Provision, a style I did not like at all... but I think Anomie is just about the best thing Green has done, and really love WBBB.... so I think there must be an audience of new music followers out there who would like to hear the new stuff, not just keep it (record company) to the faithful.

The slight frustration I feel is over things that would not compromise Green's need for privacy but just come across as his record company being a bit useless. In response to your last sentence - yeah I do care, to some extent. At least I'd rather the music I love be accessible rather than some marginal cult for existing fans. I got into Scritti in my mid-teens with 'Word Girl' and promptly explored the back catalogue. Who's to say there aren't sensitive kids these days who'd do the same given an entry point?

Best track on WBBB by far - shame about SIS, but IMO this is the best possible replacement. Hurrah! Best track on WBBB by far - shame about SIS, but IMO this is the best possible replacement.
