IM BEGINNING TO WONDER…
If I am an ungrateful sod.
Or is there something seriously…unnecessary about the two presentation discs I have started to receive from record companies.
Its very nice, is I suppose what I should say.
A collectable gesture, denoting my part in the campaign to make Jamie T (100,000 copies sold, a presentation framed plaque) and The Fratellis (900,000 copies sold, an even bigger presentation framed plaque) popular.
I mean I’ve been doing this job , for what seems like 500 years now, and this is the first time these things have ever been presented to me.
And now I get two in a week
Does this mean that some , what?, 25 years after saying, in a weekly music paper review that Thirller, the follow up to Off The Wall, would probably not sell as well as its predecessor I am now in the club?
A footsoldier in the overall salesforce for the industry that sells that which is freely exchangeable?
Or don’t know whether to be pleased, rectified,all glowing inside or think that this is conclusive proof that the bottom of a rapidly emptying barrel being scraped.
Mind you if they want to give me a Modern Times one, no need to send it the car, I’ll come and get it myself.
