Hey did everybody else see where the single "Boots and Sand" is offered for sale on Yusuf's site??  Ordered mine.. they will be available on July 20. (2.99 GBP) plus shipping. Maybe this is where the elusive "WANTED" poster will be hiding  That would be cool!!  It is a double Side-A release. Can't wait.  Richina |

Thanks for the heads-up, Richina. The "Buy Now" button isn't working for me  I'll keep trying, though and hope I get through. |

You are too funny, Richina! You do have to be quick, though, to beat some of our fellow 'catters! Let's keep our fingers crossed that the elusive poster is included with this...

Thank you for finding this for us, Richina! Looking at the drawing of that boot in the lower-left hand corner, as well as the rest of the art work on the cover, it surely looks like Yusuf's wonderfully original style. (And if Yusuf _did_ do the cover, his depiction of George W. Bush is one of the finest, and funniest, I've ever seen!)  -Bud |

LOL, Just purchased it, but like other vinyls I've bought in recent years, lile Harold and Maude and the Yoriyos single, I can't play it. Still don't have a turntable!
Peace,Vivian

I wonder if this 7" vinyl record has a small centre hole, large centre hole, or a punch-out centre hole? Historically, 7" vinyl singles (45s) released in the UK are small-holed as opposed to the large-holed singles released in North America. This is not a big deal for most, as 12" records (LPs) are small-holed anyway, which are easily accommodated by turntables. Large-holed 45s, from my experience, usually require a centre-hole adapter to play on turntables. Of course, this is not a big deal either. Most turntables come with the large-hole adapters. The problem arises with old North American jukeboxes that play 45s. In these machines, the turntable spindle accommodates large-hole records as opposed to small-hole records. I have a jukebox at home and would love to add this 45 to the selection list. Unfortunately, if it is a small-holed 45, then I'm out of luck. Unless of course I buy a hole cutter or dinker...but I wouldn't want to ruin a NEW Yusuf record!  I've emailed the record company to see what type of 45 (large-hole or small-hole) the record is...I'm not confident that it is a large-hole 45, however. |

I have ordered, too. This time I hope to have more luck with a package from GB . Last month I have ordered s.th. in London, (26 Euros) and I didn't get the package, it must have been lost, but my money was billed.

I hope that you and anyone else from Majicat who has ordered this single directly from Yusuf's site is fortunate enough to receive one of the fifty signed copies. Considering the great care for, and loyalty to, Yusuf that you exhibit, you are ALL deserving! -Bud |

I can just hear Yusuf singing (as Cat, of course) from "Can't Keep It In": "Why NOT? Now why, why, why not?" Again, the best of luck to one and all. -Bud |

Fingers crossed Richina! I think I ordered mine on the 12th, so you have a better chance than I do, but I live in a crazy little world where all things are possible. Who knows, right?
