Btw.. in such discussions as this, we're bogged down with facts versus opinion,
which gets even cloudier when morality is invoked...

However, one near as damn it fact
is that often an artist's demos are 'superior' to the finished product commercial LP release;
even if they are a bit hissy and muffled...

and some more emotionally dificult artists refuse to release their best work in their lifetime
for whatever troubled personal reasons...???

We can also think of philistine prim relatives who destroyed artist's unpublished works
for fear of shaming the family name...

History hates them...
