[quote=DexX][b]MARKETING BUNGLE MAY COST MCBAZZART THOUSANDS (Reuters) Melbourne, Australia[/b] Widespread excitement about the release of independent rocker Wolfgang McBazzart's debut album [i]Symphoniac[/i] has been tainted by news that a marketing bungle may cost the struggling artist sales and money. "I invested a huge amount of money - yeah, my f-cking money - on the understanding that this would be a worldwide release," said McBazzart at a press conference in Melbourne yesterday. "I've been gigging worldwide, playing wherever I could sell some tickets, and the fans are there. However, some d-ckhead in marketing has ticked the wrong box on some f-cking form, and the new album is only going to be released in Australia." Some industry figures are unsympathetic. "He should shut up and stop whining," said an un-named record producer. "There are almost ten million people in London, yet he only managed to half-fill the Albert Hall at his last concert. That's a couple of thousand fans. Pitching his album over there would be financial suicide." Further marketing and production mix-ups have even delayed the album's release in Australia. Due to hit the shelves two weeks ago, it is still trapped behind printing and pressing errors. Those who have heard preview copies of [i]Symphoniac[/i] have hailed it as McBazzart's finest work yet. "All his singles and a couple of B-sides are on there, but some of the new material blows the old stuff away," said Ian "Molly" Meldrum. "Expect some huge follow-up singles from this album."[/quote]
