Freedom of choice is one thing, we say, but it could end up stifling new artists...
This year, for the first time in a decade, worldwide figures for CD sales have dropped by five percent (5%). Unsurprisingly, the finger of blame is pointing towards illegal mp3 downloads, and in retailiation, record companies are now planning to open VRS (Virtual Record Stores), where you can choose your own tracks and have them pressed to CD in a matter of minutes. While the logic behind this is obvious - your're not going to bemoan paying £15 for an album if you choose all the tracks yourself - I feel it could have disastrous consequences for up and coming artists. As a large percentage of the public prefer buying singles, album sales would undoubtly fall, and this could prompt record companies to only release singles from new artists. Any of the more obscure or difficult tracks which could have made an album but not pass through A & R, and would probably never be heard. Ive lost count to how many times ive bought an album and found that the "filler" tracks are better than the ones I originally bought the album for. Its a worrying prospect, and could lead to musicians worse offers than whats currently on the table.
