There's an extremely interesting and well-considered piece today in the Grauniad by Simon Jenkins.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/story/0,,2164109,00.htmlHis thrust is that by swamping the market with recordings available for little or nothing, the perceived value of such recorded material has (or will soon become) $0... and in response, the public are sick of it, and now want the live performer, not a recording.
Your views on this, ladies and gents?
(PS "Pavva" is being amply discussed in other threads, so let's try to keep off that - despite it appearing, inevitably, in Jenkins's piece....)
