iTunes give a 25 second snapshot of every track before you buy! Film producers release trailers! These are not quite in your price bracket yet they give a guarantee that at least "some" content exists.


I have the million to spend no problem whatsoever - but I'm afraid I won't like the track.... so what are you going to do about it?

When you buy the track for a million pounds you are buying into the ideas behind the campaign.

You will know that you have in your possession a unique copy of a piece of music.

Which you can share or keep to yourself.

I can buy into the ideas behind the campaign for free I think you will find! Not that I do ... but that is free if I chose to.

By the way I have just sung into my phone and recorded it - was just a little ditty I made up on the spot and no one heard me. Let's make it a straight swap? I bet mine is better than yours.


Actually sod this ..... I KNOW mine is better than yours! Keep ya chuffing Whalenoise v Lady Sov mashup.

Inadvertently, I think reggie has stumble onto an important point.


When file sharing first began to manifest itself, the record companies responded with their own, legal, downloading offerings. At the time, you could pick up most CDs for about 9 quid or less if you shopped around. So what did the record companies do? Crippled the songs with DRM and offered them at about 12 or 13 pounds an album. Lesser product, higher price. This especially annoyed the consumer as they realised that the businesses had lower costs - no pressing, no album covers, no transport, no distribution.


So reggie's ?1M download is an obvious extension of this - offering something at a price far inflated from actual worth, in a vain bid at maintaining control. Marvellous piece of satire. Did you mean it?

If you want to add 'marvellous piece of satire' to the concept of file sharing protest song and increase its value I am more than happy.

Maybe it's looking a bit cheap now and should be ?2,000,000.

The track 'Priceless' by Sly and Reggie that you can buy will in fact not be a copy but a unique file.

      Holland & Barrett is coming to Lordship Lane

      By jazzer · Posted

      Time will tell if H&B are loved or loathed, the footfall they get and generate will determine if they stay or go. That's the nature of businesses, they come and go dependant on usage. Examples are M&S, Poundland Local, Co-op, Superdrug, Mons, the chain restaurant/takeaways, the chain Estate Agents, Toolstation, Screwfix to name a few.  As much as people would like to see Lordship Lane remain a high street of independents, it is becoming clear that due to Landlords hiking rents, some are unable to survive. This leaves empty units which some of the chain brands considering it to be worth a "punt". I'd have thought that businesses operating in shops is a better alternative than a high street with multiple empty units, but what do I know, they are just thoughts on the subject.   Take a look at Croydon and Bromley where what were once thriving high streets are in decline.  I have to say that some of the prices charged by the independents are eye watering, and incomes i'd have thought have to be substantial to afford their prices. Personally I'd love a Lidl to open on what was the site of the Harvester, but I guess that would get shouted down, oh the thought of Lidl in Dulwich. Whatever next.

      I don’t know what the shop was originally next to the big St Christopher’s but if Holland and Barrett are taking it over then surely it’s good to have a choice on Lordship Lane? The Camberwell H&B is always empty but the Brixton branch busy.  I remember when the Marks & Spencer food shop was Iceland? Now the M&S is a very busy store and at the time regenerated the high street!

      Nor would I have done, but it came up when I googled John Lewis reviews. Do you not trust TrustPilot reviews? Even allowing for the fact that many people only post reviews when they have had poor service, 27% one star reviews is indicative of something wrong, I would say. That's 27% of 76,392 reviews. That's an awful lot of people who don't  think the service they got from John Lewis was even worth two stars, let alone more. Screenshot attached.
