The band contributed the song “Blank Heart, Blank Mind” to a Love Music Hate Racism compilation CD, which was included free with the October 2007 issue of NME . Later that month, the new single “You Cross My Path” was released as a free download, exclusively through the XFM website. A second single, “Oh! Vanity”, was released in March 2008, as the Charlatans teamed up with XFM once again, becoming the first UK band to release an album (their tenth studio album, You Cross My Path ) as a free download via a radio station. The album also received a physical CD/LP release on the Cooking Vinyl label on 19 May 2008, which coincided with a full UK tour.
