Absolutely Big Jim. It's not that Im a cromudgeon or what the words was :-), I really think this is a problem in the business. It's not just the demand side (the audiences), the supply side has also a responsability to make and promote stories that will support original music better.

The 'new' release of Elvis' Greatest Hits 101.. now for 41 year old women with red socks and green eyes, two kids, with a TV dinner and Orios on the table, is also responsible for this.

They might have made more short term money, but they have also bombed the market into a devastating state. The big lie is that markets are already there, they are not, companies and products has always created them. It's just a way to get quick money to exploit old material, not a responsible way to maintain a healthy market!

No wonder why record sales are going down.. I don't buy the explanation of the Internet. I think it's due to years of poor market administation and development from the companies..
