Classic!

I've been to several ACL tapings. The crowd is instructed at the beginning to be enthusiastic, but quiet during the songs. At no point do you feel like you're at anything, but the taping of a television show. I remember being at one, where they had to stop recording because the artist was sweating t...

I think it's just VHS. There was a laser disc.

That one is great. Thanks.

Warner Brothers was kind of the exception to the rule for a while. They were for sale and WEA was releasing Greatest Hits albums at an amazing rate to entice buyers and drive up their perceived value. REM, Stone Temple Pilots, Tori Amos, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Leann Rimes and The Eagles come to mind.

One thing you need to realize is that a very small percentage (I'm talking very small) care enough about packaging to buy these albums again. Yes, I’m in a minority, and that’s a problem. Too many people are letting MCA slide for this. I understand everything you say about record companies meisinge...

One thing you need to realize is that a very small percentage (I'm talking very small) care enough about packaging to buy these albums again. Buffett has sold millions of albums and a few thousand would go out and buy them again. Hell, a lot of fans don't even buy his new albums. I know several peop...

http://www.pollstar.com has a pretty cool picture of Jimmy on the front page. The site rotates pictures so if it isn't up when you get on, click on photos and you'll see it.

Those are great. The Marvin Gaye "What's Goin' On" is fantastic.

I don't dispute the fact that the music industry is paying for it's mistakes. But I think people that are downloading and buying counterfeit CDs are being just as shortsighted as they are accusing the industry of being. It is a business designed to make money for all involved. Profits aren't down. T...

NO I DIDNT READ IT YET :oops: I GUESS I'M LOOKING AT IT FROM MY ASPECT OF BIG BUSINESS.FORD CUTS OUR COSTS AND MY INCOME ON A REGULAR BASIS BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY ARE LOSING MONEY.THEIR VERSION OF LOSING MONEY IS ONLY MAKING A 3 MILLION DOLLAR PROFIT LAST YEAR AS OPPOSED TO THE PROJECTED 5.SINCE I'M...

Tomm, the labels are actually losing money at horrific rates. They keep consolidating in the hopes of stemming the loss, and each consolidation brings more layoffs. Even those who still have jobs are shell-shocked at the carnage. The last two years have been a real bad time to be in the business. I...

That's a joke right?

A year or two passes, and you come across that album at a music store and discover that the label reissued that same album and 90% of your work has been eliminated. How would you feel? That's a utopian view of art directors at best. Most probably don't care since they're not getting paid any more w...

Perhaps because I work for one of these big record companies, I'm a little biased. As a fan, I would LOVE to have better versions of JB's catalog. But, as someone with many friends and colleagues laid off by record companies (Universal included) nothing bothers me more than senseless spending. And a...

RUSH

Maybe someone should start a petition. Maybe not, as those don’t really do anything. What can we do? :-? Maybe this article will help explain a few reasons why MCA isn't just jumping at the chance to reissue JB's catalog. It simply would not be a sound business decision. They need to focus on fixin...

That is too cool.
