2 separate albums. Publishing royalty/legal issues prevented us to make a double album, thus 2 separate volumes.... ***bonus fact - there is usually a maximum number of songs per album that artists & writers get paid royalties on (publishing wise).
BOTH ALBUMS OUT ON SAME DAY. They will be on sale for $9.99 each at Best Buy, Circuit City, etc....
There will be DOUBLE Vinyl for sale on EACH volume. The vinyl doesnt have 20 pg liner notes though....this aint the "Right On Time" album by The Brothers Johnson (for you old-heads)
There are NO hidden tracks on the actual CDs since they are both at the MAXIMUM as far as time on each disc (BOTH over 72 mins).
The liner note booklets are 20-ish pages in EACH volume.
ITUNES will have at least 2 songs as bonus joints that are NOT on the album. ?uesto wanted 4 bonus songs but legal clearances may dictate that there are only 2. One of the greenlit songs in particular is hott and should have been on the actual CD in my opinion.
There is going to be slightly more units of volume one than volume two in stores when it comes out so dont wait too long in getting both. Logic is if a chain store runs out of either volume before Christmas, it may take a little longer to get stocked again due to the holiday crunch with a lot of mega-stars from all genres putting releases out in the 4th quarter.
And yes some of y'all will see your okayplayer screen names up in ?uesto's thank yous.
