Son of a Plumber single leaked online
Written by tevensso on November 6, 2005 to Per Gessle.
STOCKHOLM - According to TDR’s sources, the new Son of a Plumber single can already be found online. Both songs are easily available in full, however, with periods of silence inserted. Most probably someone has ripped a prelistening CD.
Per comments to TDR that “this is something you probably have to live with.”

If a reporter ripped the single - why should there be this silences?? Seems to me that the record company put the singles online as a “teaser” and as well to avoid the full songs being spread over the filesharing tools...
I’m also waiting for the radio airing - when will it be??
cheers, martin

yea, it really sucks. found them earlier this morning, listened to them, got annoyed by those silences and deleted them. it’s simply stupid. no excitement for tomorrow anymore...the only excitement that’s left is for the single itself, when I’ll have it in my hands. but it’s gonna take ages till it’ll reach me here in paris. in short, i’m totally disappointed: no full songs today, still no excitement for tomorrow. that’s the worst.

you should have waited until tomorrow to listen to the song in full ;)

Tomorrow is the radio date, always has been...
Surely EMI, who won’t put up 40-second snippets on Per’s own site, wouldn’t put out the single on the Internet?? It can’t be anything else than the advance listening deal. Glad that EMI finally learned something, and added these blanks...

I just listened to this and quite enjoyed it! Still just a sample and not the whole thing yet. The song sounds alot more upbeat once youve heard the Jo-Anna Says ’holey’ version. Looking forward to hearing the whole song!

Both songs with those silent parts, although annoying, are a nice way in my opinion to give people the thirst queching preview of the songs while it still makes people want to get the actual album and the full songs. Just makes the exciment biuld even more.
The guitar ending in C’mon is really cool.
So, anyone know if the songs will be played on the radio stations starting 12:00 am in Sweden, as it would be already monday there or maybe some time after 6:00 am? Any guess on whch station is more likely to play the songs sooner ?
Hope someone else will try to record the songs too. I’m all set.
Good luck people holding on until the radio premiere!! It’s tough but we can do it. :-)
Take care!

Up to the stations to decide. My best guess would be Rix FM, they are usually fast about Per.

You can listen to Rix FM at their website, although I can’t remember the address right now...

It’s still Sunday Evening (2100) here in California...waiting for Rix to play a single!

Rix FM has announced “Son of a Plumber - Jo-Anna says” as a new song of the week. They have played like 5 seconds of the song while they made the announcement.
It’s 6:16am in Sweden, but the song doesn’t get airplay yet... and I should go to bed!

I still haven’t heard Son Of A Plumber, but I’ve got the luck to hear Marie’s Ännu Doftar Kärlek.
Thanks ally77 for those links :)

Where do I begin today ?
Where do colours never change ?
In the sunshine in the rain,
it’s quite the same,
it’s never gonna change,
I’ve been looking for “Jo-anna says”

oh good i left soundforge recording on my pc at home ;-)

If I were EMI I would hand prelistening CDs to selected media, and maybe have slight variations on each version... maybe different running times, or blanks on different points in the song... whatever the leak is, you can track down the leaker... and tell them off! :)
