Should of posted this a while back, but Cleopatra released earlier this  yr a special Ltd edition 300 copies of Flaunt It Demos album. No new tracks to the The First Generation Cd but a cool cover, purple wax and a free pin and patch and additional tracks of Memoribilia and Ray of Light cover versions. Being so ltd it will make a great item out there for all you collectors. Very rare now but a number of copies appearing on Ebay and Amazon.

Also this year a Mix of Love Missile F1-11 put out by an unknown label for DJ promotion titled Ride My Love Missile. 

TJ currently enjoying a very successful tour in the states with Carbon Silicon for more information check www.carbonsiliconinc.com TJs blog on the site makes a great read.

Neal has played some great shows with Marc Almond and more to come this month for 7 nights at Wilton Music Hall.

No Sputnik news for now apart from the usual problems of promoters in Germany advertising Sigue Sigue Sputnik shows recently. Sorry to those people who have emailed us advising that they attended the shows thinking it what was SSS show only to find it was the Bands former lead singer and his new band.

Please be advised original members Tony James and Neal X will only be playing shows that are advertised on www.sputnikworld and here. Any shows that are advertised as Martin Degvilles Sigue Sigue Sputnik are NOT Sigue Sigue Sputnik shows featuring TJ and X.   

xx

As echoed on www.sputnikworld.com a big tnx to everyone who has attended the shows this year and to everyone who has kept the faith and stayed loyal to the band. This year has been rather quiet due to TJ's commitment to Carbon Silicon and Neal having so much on with Marc, Green Means Go and various other projects. 

More shows are planned for next year.

A Merry Xmas to everyone.
