Both songs will be on the album, and both versions of "Cowboys" were on the recent 12". Beth hash developed a lishp, and soundsh like Eartha Kitt on the A-side as well as "Cowboys", so I doubt the album will be as heart-wrenchingly brilliant as the last one.

A backlash approacheth, methinks. If the new album's anything like "Cowboys" or "All Mine" a lot of fans of "Dummy" will be disappointed. It's also worrying that they haven't even been able to come up with a few remixes - the singles from "Dummy" at least had alternative versions of album tracks on them - and that they have had to pad out the album with "Mourning Air" from the "Help!" compilation.
