Jinky Single

Jimmy Johnstone’s Tribute To Jinky CD has been re-released TODAY with a new track and it looks like it could be in the running for next weekend’s coveted No.1 spot….

ALL of the proceeds from the sale of the single will go towards raising money and awareness of the condition Motor Neurone Disease, and it is expected to become a bestselling record because of Celtic’s worldwide support.

Jinky, voted Celtic’s Greatest Ever Player, sadly passed away on Monday, March 13 following a five-year battle with MND and it was one of the Wee Man’s last wishes that sales of the CD should go to this worthy cause.

Each charity CD single sale will raise £2 towards the Jimmy Johnstone Motor Neurone Disease tribute fund, which helps sufferers of the disease.

The double A-side features Johnstone in a duet with Simple Minds' Jim Kerr, covering the Ewan MacColl classic, Dirty Old Town.

The Simple Minds recorded the song with Jinky during the filming of 'Lord of the Wing', the biographical film documentary about Jinky’s life.

The second track on the CD, entitled Lord of the Wing, is performed by John McLaughlin, and the third track, entitled Commemoration (Jinky's Farewell), was written by Laura McGhee in honour of Jimmy, after the news of his passing.

Fans have been asked to circulate the news about the single and how to go about ordering Jinky's charity single.

Virgin & HMV plan to stock in Scotland, some northern cities. If there is no stock in your area you need to quote catalogue number LWSP7.

HMV have already made it possible to pre-order the title on-line.

Thousands of advance orders have flooded in already and the single will be up against some top-selling competition in the shape of Michael Jackson’s re-released
The Way You Make Me Feel and Girls Aloud's Whole Lotta History.

HMV spokesman Gennaro Castaldo said: "It's a certainty this track will hit the top 10 but with the right amount of exposure it could go all the way."

It is also set to be released as a download to help satisfy the worldwide demand of ex-pat Celtic fans.

All the details of the re-release can be found on Jinky's official web site, please visit www.jimmyjohnstone.com for more details where you can also order from HMV on-line.

So get out there now and get Jinky where he belongs – at the top of the charts.

bought 10 copies today hail hail

* bless jinky

 

all celtic fans should help this get no 1 i'll be buyin a few copies this week

 

got my copy 2day, all for a good cause! shame they never put a video on it, but the music is gd, and this is the best way 2 remember him, No1 for everything, hope it reaches no 1, (or no 7 is also significant!!!) get buying bhoys and ghirls

 

Why buy ten copies ??

One's just as good

 

It's for a very, very good cause.

 

Whats the point whats he going to do with all the other copies buy one copy and then if he feels strong enough about that charity send them a cheque or something

 

children, children, we have descended into a bit of an argument over this here!! Why?? I have to admit I have bought a couple of copies of the single. I don't intend to buy anymore but if someone wants to buy ten copis then good on them I say. It's more money for the charity.

 

there is no arguement here i am just asking whats the point when you can buy one and then give the rest to wee jimmy charity .

whats the point in having say 5 singles of the same choice in your house .

I would not give to anyone either because then they are not putting into the charity .

No arguments here

 

I agree.
If everyone went out & bought ten, I'm sure there'd be a few fans who'd miss out & wouldn't be too happy!
This cd is in high demand anyway so, there's no need to be greedy!

 

hey guys if you want the single in the charts dont buy it from any official celtic shops as it won't count although the money still goes to charity!

 

bloddy * thought i was doing my bit for charity and help get to number one

ill take them back and get a refund

 

dont make an excuse for buying them, well done 2 u for being so generous! one copy will do me, and when it gets 2 no1 we can all thank you for ur contribution. u are allowed to buy as many as u want and it makes up for all the others who wont buy it!!!

 

no youve done the right thing and must be applauded for buying 10 ..your choice at the end of the day thats another £20 to charity

 

so what if you went to buy the single and i was sold out but i guy in front of u had ten copies would you still be saying that i don't think so .

Don't want to repeat myself buy 1 copy and if you feel you want to put to Jimmy Charity then i am sure they will have something on his website or send money on o the charity .

Hail Hail Jinky J

 

Please its a free country you will be telling us to only buy 2 tins of Baked beans next !!

 

Shut up you sack and be an *

 

If you want to slag someone for buying charity cd's and helping JJ climb the charts then you can, but don't personally insult people on this forum.
