This morning Soccer AM played a snippet of Andalucia over a VT of some Champions League goals. Soccer AM is streaming the 30 second snippet at their website. Cheers to Rob at doves board for the heads up. Should point out though, the chorus is not on there.
If you have Sky Sports, then tune into Soccer Am tomorrow (why wouldn’t you anyways? – great show!) there is a possibily of hearing new single Andalucia! Having heard the track myself, its highly likely we will be hearing the track allot during the World Cup this summer, it has that vibe to it!
Then later on at the end of the Chelsea V Man City game which is a lunch time KO, Blue Water will close the show.
The usual online stores are now taking pre-orders for the best of album. Best price found so far is at play.com where you can get the 2CD/DVD set for £11.99.
Pre-Order at Play.com / Pre-Order at Amazon.co.uk
In North America the album will be released on Astralwerks April 6th. Expect to pay in the region of $25 for the special editon in the USA, $30 in Canada. Will post if I hear of a better price elsewhere.
Released on 5th April 2010 on Heavenly Recordings
So here we are, twelve years since Doves formed in Manchester and released the Cedar Room EP on the Casino Records imprint (funded by the one and only Rob Gretton) and ten years have elapsed since Doves epochal debut, “Lost Souls” was released on the legendary Heavenly Recordings. In that time we have been privy to a catalogue of genre-warping singles and a quartet of albums that have forced writers to go back to the thesaurus in search of new superlatives. These are “The Places Between”, A multi-format best of that has cherry picked the best from number one albums: ‘The Last Broadcast’ and ‘Some Cities’, last years critically acclaimed masterpiece, ‘Kingdom Of Rust’ and their generation defining debut ‘Lost Souls’. Indeed, from number 3 hit ‘There Goes The Fear’ to the Motown thump of ‘Black and White Town’ and the anthemic morning after glow of ‘The Cedar Room’. ‘The Places Between’ has been painstakingly sequenced by Jimi, Andy and Jez themselves in the way they want you to experience their last decades work, in short this is the definitive Doves Best Of.
Furthermore, in addition to a host of B sides, rarities, and unreleased tracks that make up the second disc there is a smattering of brand-new recordings, ‘Blue Water’, Drifter (Featuring Cherry Ghost’s Simon Aldred) and the brilliant new single ‘Andalucia’.

Blog Birthday cake with thanks to MS Painter!
The blog is celebrating one year online! Actually it was a year to the day yesterday I made the first post, but I forgot about it!!
Predictably doves did not pick up a Brit award tonight. The award for best British group went to Kasabian. Well done to them.
