Re: The Weird Al Says Tweet! 2.0
Does Al or the record company pay for them? That seems like a lot of cd's to just give away.

You have quickly thought up such matchless phrase?

Typically an artist will have it in their contract that they get a supply of promotional copies (that is, copies that have the barcode scratched out to prevent it from being sold) of each release.crazygurl14 wrote:Does Al or the record company pay for them?

I'm pretty sure that when Al sent me a signed copy of Poodle Hat when I was in the hospital (along with some other stuff), it was promotional. The barcode on the CD had a hole in in.

Re: The Weird Al Says Tweet! 2.0
Neat! Actually, if it weren't for a certain severe medical incident when I was thirteen, I probably wouldn't be as madly into Al as I am now. When I was sick, I made my family buy me all his records while I lie in the hospital bed. Had I known I could've gotten a free signed copy out of my suffering, I might have looked into that.Big Spoon wrote:I'm pretty sure that when Al sent me a signed copy of Poodle Hat when I was in the hospital (along with some other stuff), it was promotional.

Hey, so, um.... it might just be the stupid musician album release nerd in me talking but, based on the Twitter image, is that a digi-pak that his album is in? There's something about that package that I really, really dig. It'd make the CD even cooler if it was contained within that slick, unbreakable format.

Yeah, it's a digipak, or whatever they call those things. Did I forget to mention that? Oopsie!
