- Why do record companies sanitize and blandify good bands??? I mean bigger
- record companies of course, i.e. those with enough clout to include a lot
- of control clauses in the contracts, like choosing what songs to release
- as singles, release dates, etc. Smaller ones don't generally have such heavy
- hands... So I have heard...
-
- About promoters. What exactly do they do, and who are they? I met one called
- Michael Best once. What do you know about him? One thing I know about him
- is that he was responsible for the Betty Boo tour which was a complete
- disaster...
-
- Is there anyone else you know who does this kind of stuff? Successfully?
