So quantities of new releases have dropped … what about the quality of new releases. I’ll scream if I see another pop idol/pop star/making of a band/5 minute wonder.

As much as releases per year is shrinking, im really surprised that the profit margin and sales percentage per year hasnt shrunk the same magnetude.
They recording “industry” are very lucky.

Seems to me, that if there is a ‘cd’ of a recording, as well as a ‘dvd’ version of the same recording, that the ‘dvd’ version is the one that the general population will want.
The ‘dvd’ version usually offers a wider variety of outtakes, videos, and background information about how the whole production happened.
And the ‘dvd’ is roughly the same price as the ‘cd’.
Kinda like a selling a scooter when you could have a car for 2 bucks more!
