Is it just me that thinks Early Bird is one of the best songs on the album (if it can be classed that way) ?

Would`ve made a great first single release - quirky, mid tempo, catchy nice groove, a rhythmic wah wah guitar... ah!
Hey, i`ve got a truffle dog - finally a song the ordinary man can relate too!

 :) No Fletch I agree. I think it is a great track. Nice guitar licks and sime good tempo changes. Real catchy groove. No need to let it grow it's great on first play.

Terry put a new information online.

A bonus track not on the CD, Early Bird, can be downloaded from iTunes. Please note: earlier today an download link for this track was posted here. It was sent to MKNews by a normally reliable source but turned out to be to an unofficial download and so the link was removed.

Make no sense.
My idea of heaven is a place where the Tyne meets the Delta, where folk music meets the blues.

Sounds dubious to say the least.

With mk.com releasing the album early, and mk-news making pirate copies of Early Bird available, it seems we are the only forum which respects MK's rights and ensures that no official material is made available for download.

I recieved this answer from terry: The person who sent me the link forgot to inform me it was an unofficial download and as such I can't have it on the site.
With respect to Mark, I think I can`t post the links here that wouldn`t be nice because it`s not official.

I think they should definitely have stuck Early Bird on the general release album.

It would have gone down well as the second to last track and would have provided some relief from the overkill of folk with Clyde and Piper being next to each other at the end.

It's an excellent track, but I don't think it fits in with the "feel" of the album. Correct decision to offer it as a bonus.

PS I've only listened to it twice, and Dusty Jr had the TV on so I couldn't hear it that well, but is it about Simon Cowell?

I was just about to ask about this "Simon" from "England". So I can google it now. Great info! Thanks.
Of course Mark would never confirm this and would keep the meaning absolutely in general instead... ;)

If so, it's ironic that Matt Rollins was working at Simon Cowell's house this week. :)
