The Quantum Mechanic 12" vinyl -, I havent checked it yet , but i believe will be the same tracks as on the cd single , which were the same as on the album - I dont believe there will be any remix .I just like to own (where possible) , each release in as many ways as possible ( and funds will allow) - eg tape, vinyl , cd , . By the way -- I know its been mentioned on some discographys , but has anyone out there ever seen / heard / or even own , a copy of the supposed 'One of Our Submarines' 7" from the early 1980's , I personally have never seen it , or seen it advertised etc ???did it really exist.?? Also another Lp i might have forgotten to mention is the album by 'Local Heroes' this features Thomas on 2 tracks , they are written by kevin Armstrong, I got hold of this a few months ago.

Well, maybe not a million - AndGor Toys (http://www.andgor.com/) reckon they'll build custom action figure heads from photos for $400 for the first sculpt. From there, you just fix the head onto standard action toy bodies. Just think! Thomas could really have GI Joe's chest. Or Barbie's.
