It is number 26 inthe official charts and number 14 in the network charts.The video (or 2 and 1/2 mins of) was shown on the chart show, basically she was spinning around in the air with various scenes going on behind her,not her most impressive video, but to be fair the section was far too short to really judge. Anyway I got the collector's CD this morning, and i have to say I'm disgusted with the end product.There are 3 tracks including MOP,ExpIV and December(not the bongo version I hasten to add!).There are four cards one of the single cover, 2 photos which look the same as the 12" ones and one with the lyrics on. What annoys me is the total disregard for the fans on this release,including tracks which have been singles in the past, limiting the instrumental to tape and vinyl,limiting Home For Christmas(1:50 duration) to vinyl.There is no excuse for including December when it was included on the 12" of ExpIV.This reminds me of the 85 remix of I Have The Touch by Peter Gabriel which was released god knows how many times!Also it can be said that 'Show Me Some Devotion has been restricted to CD,they are people still who haven't got a CD player.A better format would have been as follows: Cassingle MOP b/w MOP(instru) 12" MOP b/w MOP(instru)/Home For.../Show Me Some Devotion CD same as 12" CD Box MOP b/w December(Bongo version)/Brazil/MOP(instru) By having this format,it would be some inducement to buy the second CD other than four cards!Although it wouldn't help those without a CD player to get December or Brazil.
