what i generally would like too see is the release of any format on
one single day available to
all nationalities...
i.e. not split releases, no singles with Japan / US / UK exclusive tracks, no iTunes exclusives
its ok for UW to release material exclusives through their own site (UWLive) but for the Japanese to get exclusive tracks on commercially released cds is plainly wrong (i know the reasons for doing it, but it does not to make it right)
just release the music to all of the worldwide fans on one day - whatever format it is
and
don't issue 'promo only' mixes unless they intend to be issued on uwlive or some other site (at a future date) - if a mix is commissioned and made available to dj's who can't be arsed to play it (most sell them on anyway, so they can make a few quid on ebay) don't release exclusive dj mixes - if they end up moaning, tell them to go out and buy bloody records - they get these promos for free, ffs
its the fans that want multiple remixes not the bloody dj's - they usually only play the radio edits anyway!
so one day release, internationally, thats all i want - format for me is not the issue
