checks for temp jobs at CD production plants.....tragabigzanda wrote:This hasn't changed one iota since the 90s though.

What has changed completely is the number of hands touching their shit. There's no A&R committee to give feedback on the mix/master job, there's no huge marketing team getting pre-release copies so they can begin to conceive of the press. Outside of the band, Josh, whoever Josh's assistant engineer(s) are, and the mastering house, there's virtually no reason for anyone else to hear this thing unless the band feels like entrusting it to some friends.
But it'll still leak. Once it makes it's way to the CD production plant, and cases are filled with hundreds of copies, some employee will swipe one and then it'll get out there.

This time around I'll get it on Spotify & then the physical copy will be on vinyl only.
McCready denied the album’s existence just a few months ago. McCready is a proven liar. The album therefore exists.Ms Harmless wrote:I don't think this album exists
