1. Thinking About Tomorrow (Ben Watt Radio Mix)
2. Daybreaker (Roots Manuva Remix)
3. Daybreaker (Four Tet Remix)

Also the US promo single for Thinking About Tomorrow contains 2 mixes by Ben Watt. Ben Watt Mix and Ben Watt Mix - edit as well as the album version. The promo CD comes without an insert but is a cool picture disc.

The UK promo CD contains only one track, The Ben Watt Radio Mix. Comes in a cardboard sleeve.

Also watched out for a special page on Thinking About Tomorrow! Exclusive on Beth-lehem.com only!

"Things are going well. Beth is currently in new zealand and will probably not be able to help you with your request at present moment. i will get back to you as soon as i hear anything from her.

Concerning the super pinky mandy album: we tried to obtain the rights to this recording a few years back, but so far, we haven't been succesful. it is currently owned by toshiba in japan, but they have declined to rerelease the cd due to beth's royaltystatements. sorry...

Another thing, which might be of interest: Heavenly are currently, on the wish of beth, putting together a special rarities album containing b-sides from her past. the album will most probably contain two discs: one with originals and one with various remixes. the cd will probably only be released in the UK, but since you live there, I guess it won't be a problem. also, beth has begun writing and recording new material, but don't expect a release until next year. daybreaker has been confirmed for four singles, the next being "thinking about tomorrow"."

So besides the B sides + remixes CD, we might see another single off Daybreaker. Also, I guess by now, we can really give up hope that SuperPinkyMandy will ever see the light of day again...

Below is a blurb from LA Times Sunday Calender section:

"Beth Orton has asked Kieran Hebden, who has been releasing dark jazz-electronica albums recordings under the name Four Tet, to produce tracks for her next album. The teaming grw out of Hebden remixing two Orton songs and producing the B-side "Beautiful Chair" for her. Release plans are pending, but in the meantime Orton will put out a collection of remixes and B-sides this summer, and a new Four Tet album, 'Rounds,' is due May 20."

TRAVIS frontman FRAN HEALY, GARBAGE, BETH ORTON and comedian MARK THOMAS have been added to the bill for EMILY EAVIS' 'ONE BIG NO' anti-war gig in LONDON this weekend (March 15).

As previously reported on NME.COM, Paul Weller, Faithless, Ian McCullochand Evan Dando are already confirmed for the show at Shepherds Bush Empire.

Emily, daughter of Glastonbury founder Michaelhas been putting the bill together with Lily Sobhani. The event will take on a similar feel to her recent 'Make Trade Fair' charity gig at the London Astoria, where each artist performed acoustic sets, with an emphasis on collaborations. Ian McCulloch is billed as performing with a 'secret special guest', as is Weller.

Ticket proceeds will go to the Stop The War Coalition and CND Visit NME.COM for regular updates on the line-up.

Tickets are on sale now, priced £20 and £30. To buy, contact the ticketline on 0870 160 2831 or call the Shepherds Bush Empire Box Office on 0870 771 2000.

In addition to the gig, CND are also organising a club night at Fabric in London on March 20.

The latest confirmed acts include Alan McGee's Death Disco, Justin Robertson, Richard Fearless and Scratch Perverts.

James Lavelle, who is putting together the line-up, will do an UNKLE Sounds event featuring Ian Brown, who will sing live.

Tickets for the Fabric night are also on sale now, priced £10.

Beth is scheduled to play on Radio 1's Breezeblock show on the 25th of March. Guests on the show usually DJ so I'm guessing that's what she'll be doing. You'll be able to listen to the it live online at www.bbc.co.uk/radio1 and the show will be archived for a week at the same url.
