Folks, the Marillion single Thank you whoever you are (video above, unless Wordpress decided to kill my HTML again) is at chart position number ten in UK and the highest new entry on the charts this week.

To keep the momentum (instead of the usual “up like a balloon, down like a tank” routine), if you haven’t bought the single(s), go and do that now.

The Thank You single exists in three versions, so if you’re feeling really freaky (or generous), you can buy more than one and you still get two different b-sides. All versions have the same single edit of Thank You Whoever You Are.

The Blue single is backed with the non-album track Say the word, a trippy little thing that should have been released by some flower-pop band in the summer of love, but instead got released by the hippies of Marillion. We can probably blame h for this one

The Magenta version has the most toys, featuring Most Toys from the Somewhere else album, the non-album-yet-fan-favourite Circular Ride (studio cut, i thinks) and a live rendition of The Wound.

The Green single is a DVD with and has, besides the already mentioned title track, Most Toys, a live and cover version of Toxic (yes, Britney Spears). These are audio-only. Then we have Thank you and Most Toys again, but as love videos. Having Toxic as a video would have been too much :).

There is also a Red version which is an iTunes-only downloadable single with a live Most toys as b-side.

The singles are fairly cheap. Townsend records sell them at the following rates:

• Blue single: £1.99
• Magenta single: £2.99
• Green DVD/single: £2.99 (cheap!)
• All together: £6.99

Amazon also carries the singles but there they are £3.99 each, with the Magenta+Green or Blue+Magenta bundle for £7.99.
