This is so disappointing! Sheryl deserves a really good career retrospective and I would love to update my 1CD Best Of (which doesn't have Tomorrow Never Dies on it, annoyingly).

Have you got yours yet? I had held off hoping that Amazon will get stock but still nothing. I spoke to them yesterday and they are not sure of they will stock it. After much toing and throwing with them they gave me the difference (£18) of the cheapest online as a gift voucher, I've ordered from eBay (Chalky's) now.
No, I had a feeling amazon might never get it. When I read the SDE interview at the weekend, and saw they had signed copies back in stock, I decided to go with that. A tenner in it (including SDE's postage) but I'll have a groovy signed print and better packaging.
I buy from Paul (SDE) sometimes (I got Rick Astley coming from him) and his service for his shop is always great.
Yep....I've had several boxsets and some of his books/keepsakes over the years. No complaints. I think I'll enjoy having the box with the print...the colour scheme will suit my music room (white, black and blue). Haha!
Amazon still haven't shipped my Go West yet. Will hang on for another bit. SDE shop not an option for me as I don't feel like paying VAT twice.
Of course it is now that after years of just having the 7” I finally coughed up for one of the SOS comps that had this version on it! Think I may have to take the plunge on this, should fill any early era gaps
The only Am I the same girl instrumental I found on Discogs is this one https://www.discogs.com/it/release/304735-SOS-Am-I-The-Same-Girl but it looks like it’s a remixed version… Is there a true instrumental of the track?
I’m still in two minds about the SOS box set. I feel like it doesn’t offer me much of what I don’t already have. I’m disappointed that there weren’t more unheard mixes of The Waiting Game and am surprised that You On My Mind only had an extended mix. Ditto Am I The Same Girl. At this point in my penny pinching cycle, I can’t seem to move beyond inertia and being slightly annoyed.
It’s not a complete grab of everything of the era sadly - just spotted Another Lost Weekend is on the track list once and I’m sure there were two (long and short) versions of it
I don't think a true instrumental of 'Am I The Same Girl' was ever released, although that's not to say that one doesn't exist. The A-side of that 12" promo on Discogs is a remix of 'Am I The Same Girl' as well, which doesn't appear on the tracklist either.
So, there should be the instrumental track of Am I The Same Girl [Dr Bob Jones remix] and not the actual remix ? Oh dear ! ! !

This would be very welcome, and it would make sense to update Discography, but, I think I'd prefer Burning the Heather to It Doesn't Often Snow At Christmas, I wonder if this will appear anywhere else.
