No "Shame" for Robbie & Gary

Thanks to BBC Breakfast, I caught the video for the eagerly anticipated musical reconciliation between Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow, entitled "Shame". And I'm not the first to notice the melody is reminiscent of the Beatles' "Blackbird" while the video is a fairly shame-less homage to "Brokeback Mountain". Officially the track was done for Robbie's next Greatest Hits album (see below) but I wouldn't be surprised to see it on the next Take That proper album once Robbie's new recordings with them, plus a tour together, have passed.



Not surprising that Robbie has a reputation for ego. With this second stab at a Greatest Hits the dating of 1990 to 2010 is curious when Take That didn't have any sort of hit until the end of 1991, but the only Take That track on it is from 1994. I suppose that might be down to EMI though, but it's still a bit of a cheat.
