A peak at what I think about at my day job: Since only 200,000 people have downloaded that bands album that appeared on iTunes like an Irish virus, the record company is trying to make sure that the physical release will still sell. Target generally doesnt sell records that have an initial digital release, so... To entice retailers, Universal is offering 4 tracks that iTunes will not have until November, according to sources. Some retailers could walk away with more tracks, as sources say Universal has 3 additional tracks for select retailers. So in the quest for sales, theres not a definitive version of this record yet. 11 songs out now, with an album total, based on which store its bought from, of 18 songs. For a band creating an album as a whole, thats a problem. Do you tell fans to wait for the version thats sold at chain store XYZ in 2-3 months? Of course, thats assuming that the band in question IS trying to create a unified album, cough, cough, and arent just corporate hacks trying to survive in a digital music industry. billboard/articles/news/6244130/u2-songs-of-innocence-free-album-apple-itunes
