Covermount news, and Travis are the latest band to distribute their tunes via that long term champion of new music, the Mail On Sunday. Fran Healy and co will give their new single, 'My Eyes', away on a covermounted CD that will also include a collection of greatest hits. Aside from the quick pay off for the back catalogue hits, presumably the band also hope the promotion will help boost sales of their most recent album 'The Boy With No Name', from which 'My Eyes' is taken.
The Travis CD is the first major music promotion in the Mail On Sunday since its controversial Prince album giveaway. Those who prefer their covermounts to include some Prince should buy The Observer instead of the Mail, because they are giving away copies of his 1987 concert video 'Sign O' The Times', the first of a number of music DVD giveaways planned by the broadsheet.
