Subject: RE: an embarassment as a blues singer
Artist - Didn't you know? Everybody has to pay to get their album reviewed in XXXXXXX.

You mean there are actually people out there so gullible that they haven't realised that Properganda is entirely advertorial, only there to promote records distributed by Proper Distribution, and only free because people pay to be in there? Of course everything gets a good review. I assume that's the magazine you refer to. I find it interesting, given the non-commercial stance of most folk clubs, that they'd give it house room but they do, I see it all over the place.
