Wasn't there some hoohah about "Tusk" getting premiered in its entirety on the radio, allowing people to record it, and the band/management/label blaming that for soft sales?

edited "sara" and the remixed "i know i'm not wrong," the latter of which was retained for the 2004 double-disc reissue and for literal years made me think my vinyl copy was flawed but just for that particular song

i prefer the og "i know i'm not wrong" now, it breathes more, but sometimes i miss the tricked-out quality of the remix

Yeah, a chain of radio stations were allowed a full-length album premiere by Warner's, which backfired.

We don't know to what extent it affected sales; WB will want a villain. The price had a lot to do with depressed sales.

I think I remember paying $14 for it when it came out.

I paid $1, but I had to walk to the record store in a snowstorm.
