Beck: never received the right Information before album's release?

to Ikara Colt's debut album... doubt they cared either.

clever alcxxk

sometimes bands prefer not to be chart eligible as it's better to be uneligible than to get a low chart position. Not saying that Beck would have got a low position, but if the label or someone doesn't think it's been promoted enough then using stickers to avoid a potentially disappointing chart position is a well known tactic.

but yes, Beck is hardly a chart artist but still sells well. The only downside is loss of impulse buys from people shopping at Tesco et al, who would stock the album if it was in the charts.

I also saw the album in tesco. Then I went out into the alfresco and talked to a girl from mexico at the texaco.
Yup.

I got it for £11.99 on Amazon.

you're a fucking legend, a cultural icon for the 21st century if you will. your ability to rhyme words other than "moon" and "spoon" totally rocks my socks to a ridiculous, culturally significant degree. i write for the sunday times's arts supplement and we'd like to do a 1500-word kissass piece on you with lots of glossy photos. you down?

they set the chart rules after all

the main point is that it's Beck! It's not Mc GIVE A SHIT whom you've never heard of is it? Whether it charts or not, people are still going to pick up the record, no? Commercial success isn't about whether you see the album's name next to a number is it? Do you like the sound of the single? yes, well go and buy the record. Balls to the chart
