Charlotte Martin: Reproductions
It’s official – and yes, I’m late on this – Charlotte Martin’s new album of covers, Reproductions, will be exclusively available to those who visit her Never Say Never tour this autumn. It’s possible that it will be released into the wild during spring 2008.
Much discussion of this strategy is going on over at the arsonist army, especially the disappointment of those who cannot make it to one of Charlotte’s shows. In this age of digital releases and the inevitable demise of the CD, such a policy of exclusivity is bizarre.
Musicians: when you have something to release, release it. Everywhere. By all means sell your stuff whenever the opportunity arises, but don’t lock it down or invent some cachet for it, for you’re only hurting your audience.
