Damn even their bonus rarely performed songs are so nice! They should just release an EP containing all these amazing bonus/B-side songs instead of a greatest hits.

Could you make one for 6 in the Morning Fool? I live in the US and cannot find that song anywhere! Just when I think I can listen, it tells me that it is not available in my country. Aaaggghhh! Being an American Take That fan requires a bit of effort, but I just love these boys!
