user FKA webmoster Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 someone over at HTGTH said that the UYI albums were shipped under different names. is this true?Yes.And when Peter Jackson's KING KONG was shipped to theaters, they gave it some corny family-movie title so that no one would be tempted to open it up and watch it ahead of time or leak prints to people.what were the aliases to the UYI albums?

busngabb Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Most worryingly if it is true the album will sell all of 20 copies in the first day or two.They are heading for a failure anyway as people write them off as not being GNR.I can't see how this secrecy strategy will win anyone bar the overly curious over.Why not just stick an official video of the single on youtube.com? A far more modern strategy that would reach a far wider audience.Hell, just give me the job already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GabrielsChains Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 This is not a release strategy -- it's about stopping the album from leaking before release day. Albums are even given fake names when they're being mastered/pressed -- oftentimes if you put a record in your computer's CD player, it won't say "Contraband", for example -- it'll say "Disco Nation" or something else -- something that would make the folks working at the CD manufacturing plant go, "eh" when they have a chance to swipe one.The biggest thing that could hurt this record is leaking beforehand -- the biggest thing it has on its side is anticipation -- and shipping something under a false name like this...Well damn. That's just s.o.p. for the industry. Which is why this is very, VERY intriguing news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcade Roses Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 btw guernsey is an island near the channel tunnel and they release cds on monday....so possibleAnother interesting *thought* that just struck me was that this is *quite* geographically near to a location in Southern England where it has been claimed that demo CDs for CD are kept. Some of the contents for these two CDs is also known/rumoured.There you go again. I said this was "claimed" and a "rumour". FWIW the "track listing" (note the speech marks ) for this is "claimed" to be:Disc 1:-"TWAT"-"Rhiad"-"Catcher"-another known songDisc 2:-4 new songs; one of which involves the word "gun" a lot but is not "CITR" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
