New (shopping) e-nvironment
Funny to see how (dance, electronic) record companies react to the new online shops possibilities. So far: They not always make available the full catalogue. They sometimes pack two 12'' singles, two releases in one. Sometimes some of the tracks (usually the most popular) are available only if you buy the whole 'album'. And sometimes two 12''s together are called 'albums'.
A clear example is
Love it, Dub it' + Remixes on iTunes: two 12"s together as an 'album' of course for the price of an album and the two best tracks available only if you download the whole 'album'.
Another, better, example of this is Sander Kleinenberg's - 4 Seasons EP (Part 3 Of 3)on Little Mountain Recordings: 4 songs for 9.99 E, unavailable separately.
Do not take me wrong: still cheap, still great to have them available.
