[edit] Trivia
- "Raoul" was the first chart eligible single to be released by the band since "Recover" was available only as a strictly limited release.
- The character 'Raoul' is, in fact, a real-life sandwich man in Cardiff. His shop is often frequented by the band because the sandwiches are "so tasty". After being asked if Raoul was a real person, guitarist James Frost replied via myspace: heh heh. Raoul is real - he has a shop across from the rehearsal studio in whitchurch road (Cardiff) and makes sandwiches. if you go to the website www.theautomatic.co.uk and look under picture links someone even tracked him down and took pics. xxxxxxxx
