Title: Should Axl do with CD what Prince did with Musicology? Post by: BurningHills on October 01, 2006, 10:12:44 AM On Prince's Musicology tour, a copy of the album was included with the ticket. I believe these sales counted in SoundScan too.
Should Axl do the same with CD? It'd be a great way to get the word out there, IMO. Title: Re: Should Axl do with CD what Prince did with Musicology? Post by: CAFC Nick on October 01, 2006, 10:15:17 AM That means it will leak way too early though.

I am not 100% sure, but I think they changed the "rules" on that after Prince did it, and it would no longer count toward album sales.

Agree.anyway, ticket sales are slow enough without the added burden of chinese democracy on them. not worth the effort really. Title: Re: Should Axl do with CD what Prince did with Musicology?

Not sure why, but thats the deal now. Title: Re: Should Axl do with CD what Prince did with Musicology?
