prime example was a Minstry Of Sound 12" release that arrived from the pressing plant in the wrong sleeve, right barcode, wrong label, right record, wrong box. the music industry is currently run by marketers who don't know about music or music lovers who don't know about marketing. way, way, way too much money is spent on bands - especially pop videos.
