At least in the old days (50's and 60's) they didn't bother making pop
artists cut an entire album when they only had a couple of marketable songs
to work with. It was a lot more like the dance/dj market is today - labels
think more in terms of single songs, not artists per se, and the comsumer
buys the track that they want without the filler crap (except for the
occasional wack b-side).
This sh*t happens so often in current pop music - you buy the record, and
the one or two songs that you know of are the only good ones on it - that I
wonder if it doesn't have a lot to do with the explosion of internet theft.
Or maybe people just like to get free stuff...
Strange that this would be the case with Missy, though. I've got mad respect
for her skills. But I'm hearing negative things about her new one from a few
people.
