Jeff Buckley for Xmas no 1
Quote:
Following the rather depressing news that this year's X factor finalist will be covering Leonard Cohen's beautiful 'Hallelujah,' I think everyone should download the Jeff Buckley version, instead of buying the inevitably soulless version churned out by Simon Cowell's Crimbo flash in the pan.
This is not a group intended to make cruel or derogatory remarks about any participants in this years X factor, but if you love Buckley's version, let's make sure everyone forgets the pale imitation as quickly as possible.
We can make this work, and make a huge statement against the barrage of cynical manufactured pop dirtying up our charts. I am willing to download this version the week the X factor version comes out, and I know others will be too.
To make this as easy as possible we have posted the download links below:
http://www.7digital.com/artists/jeff.../hallelujah-1/ - unencumbered high quality 320k mp3 89p (that's what I'm getting next week).
http://www.tunetribe.com/product/index.html?id=604507 - cheaper but semi-crippled WMA (windows file) only 49p
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/M...78201&s=143444 - 79p but DRM AAC file from Apple
HMV
http://hmv.com/hmvweb/digitalSearch....4&primaryID=8#
Near the bottom, 69p.
PLEASE DONT PURCHASE FROM AMAZON AS THEY DO NOT COUNT TOWARDS THE UK CHARTS...
would be pretty funny if they did it, but from what i have heard that the new cover has sold over 150,000, while Jeff was at 80,000 (now 100,000), and in 3rd place, in the mid week charts. I might buy a mp3 of it for the "cause" (I already have it)
