An FM EP could sell some more, just as a teaser, the dollars float in your own pocket, and if it gets attention, maybe a label is interested in an album. Or it works as a thermometer; how's the public brand doing in 2013?
To call OMS a quick and dirty release, and "sullying", means basicly (to me) that you don't understand the State of the recordindustry in 2013. Lindsey brought out SWS solely on his own terms, with a little help from a distributer. I can buy the thing in every city in the Netherlands. ( Well, nobody does, But That's not the point  ) |
I don't think HejiraNYC was referring to OMS with that comment. That strategy might be fine for Lindsey, but not for Fleetwood Mac (Lindsey's whole small machine/big machine thing). I think that was the point of that comment.
