All the more reason to not pay for unreleased material then. Material that was not paid for on the assembly end should not be paid for on the consumer end.
So - everybody compile all the alternate takes you've gotten over the years (as well as any material that runs over 30 minutes of an album), and let's all upload it for universal sharing.
It's the only just way to stop the rip-off! And let's file a class-action lawsuit against the recording industry to pay everybody who's either been recorded under such circumstances or else everybody who's ever bought product produced under such circumstances.
Even better, both!
So if you had a four hour session in 1957 that resulted in a 30 minute LP, you had to pay for two four hour sessions sessions even though you only had one?
That doesn't sound right, does it?
Definitely a trumpet note...and I referenced a burn of the set I got about 5 years ago as a "holdover" until I finally bought it, and that trumpet note is not there...
Well, truthfully, the discovery of an unknown (to me) VSOP date (i.e. - some Wayne of Which I'd not heretofore been aware) involved, perhaps not drama per se, but at least a little excitement.
Not as much, I'd wager, as the guy who sent it to me in an email.
I act only in the spirit of service - this needs to be seen and heard by the multitudes.
