Line 130:
** The "6 months later with bonus tracks" scheme is especially done with R&B and pop music. Several labels will release an album by an artist and then re-release it 6 months later as a "special edition" and release one of the new songs a few months before to radio, basically forcing fans of an artist to buy the album again with the artists' new big hit on it. Sometimes a record company will pull this a ''second time'' by releasing the album with the original tracklist, the 6 tracks from the "special edition" and 2-4 more new tracks just so fans have to buy an artists' album ''again''.
*** And don't try to round it by just buying the new tracks from iTunes or Amazon Music; the record companies will seal off the new track as being an 'album-only purchase'.
*** Recently, British rock bands have gotten in on the "re-release with the new single on it" game. Want "Flux" by Bloc Party, "Kiss of Life" by Friendly Fires or "Heavy in Your Arms" by [[Florence and+ the Machine]] and don't want to buy the single? Guess what albums you're going to have to buy again?
