Most expensive single ever goes on sale

The most expensive single to be sold in the history of pop music will go on sale later this month for a record £100.

Newcomer's Thurston Revival will be releasing 100 copies of their debut track 'Somewhere There's An Angel' wrapped and signed.

The record label behind the group hopes the high price will highlight the state of the music industry, as a spokesperson explained: "When albums are being given away and with an endless downward pressure on album prices, this release is a chance to step back, catch a breath, and fight back.

"We’re not pretending £100 isn’t a lot of money and we only expect the idea to appeal to a special few."

Dan O'Connell, who is behind the song said: "'Somewhere There’s an Angel' is on my page on MySpace and anyone can hear it for free. Does that mean the song has no value? Of course not. Yet that’s what we’re constantly told.”
