Twentysixfeet stock their own album in London record shops

Twentysixfeet have filed copies of their album Two Hours Of Passionless Tango in London record shops themselves, documenting the stunt online.

And finally, a fun story from London based "post-everything experimentalists" Twentysixfeet who ensured their new album 'Two Hours Of Passionless Tango' is stocked by all good record shops in central London by going into said record shops themselves and stocking them up - that is to say, slotting their albums in the 't' sections in the A-Z racks. The adventure was documented on camera and, because the whole thing amused us greatly, we've stuck their pictures at this URL:

The band tell us: "Our 'Two Hours Of Passionless Tango' CD is in most music shops in the W1 area, but if you ask them, they will tell you they DON'T stock it. 'Errr..its not on our system. We don't have it'. But it's there. Go in, and try to buy it - we think this should ensure some chaos at the tills. What will they do - give it to you? Try and sell it to you even though they shouldn't, as it's not released yet and they have no clue about it anyway? Our moneys on you'll get it for free. But anyways, will be a laugh watching the confused shop assistant probably go and get the manager, who in turn will be equally confused. Go and do it. Let us know what happens. There are five in the Oxford Circus HMV, in the rock and pop section, under T. We might even go for Woolworths next".
