Wide awake could put out a cd with only 1 or 2 new unheard tracks on it and people will buy it. They're gonna be exploiting that right as long as they have ownership of the catalogue."dont understand how business works"and im sure that u do?just because nostalgic cd-purists n collectors just like yourself decides to buy a physcial compact disc cuz of 2 or 3 new tracks, doesnt mean the opposition will do the same.rest of us will downlaod itPeople who download music without paying, will do that regardless.Even more reason for Wideawake to limit the flow of 'unheard' tracks being released, like they are.For those who don't live out their lives online, this cd will be in stores promoting the brand...and moving units. And collectors and die hard fans worldwide will still get it from eShops etc. And Wideawake still got tracks for days sat in the vault.i disagree,people dont buy cd's anymore, therefore limiting the diversity of new music, will only slow down possible sales for new producta conventional music-customer wold buy this project if it was all new tracks or somethin more fancier, but since the release is an obvious rip-off, only nostaglic cd-purists like urself would buy it (the people who spend money on a release if there is only one *new* song on it)it might postpone the catalogue, n give WideAwake somethin more to relaese routinely,, but i dont think its a succesful move thru a revenue-perspective

why r people still talking bout this shit album its gonna suck end of story till the nest w.a album
no, they dontcollectors buy "cds and vinyl" not "people"digital outlets and streaming sites (like Spotify) and illegal mp3's are the public domain sources for new music today, not compact discs (its different depending on which country tho)WideAwake aims at collectors wit their product, n since the overall content n quality of the product isnt up to par wit the networth, i dont see any revenue froma business-standpoint wit their releases. thats how i look at it2 or 3 new tracks in a lousy compact disc format wit a cheap paper-inlay isn't worth 20$, not even for a collector, thats why it wont sell n become a huge success IMO
its not nonsense at allthe revenue isnt in cd-sales, so cd-sales are not a huge factor in the industry from a business standpoint, nocollectors and general fanbases buy cd's, not the conventional music-listener.the compact disc isnt a source for new music today,, the internet is
ive been thru that argument before..comparing statistics of CD-sales and digital sales doesnt work at allof course, Cd sales more in comparison wit digital sales, still doesnt prove anythin.. cuz most of teh music listeners download everythin for freethe percentage shows the small number of actual digital sales, and doesnt say antyhin about teh illegal downloadsthose numbers make it look like cd-sales are a dominant force, when its not at all in reality

It's like tryin to market designer goods to shoplifters.
