And the notes. I would listen to the music while reading the notes on the album cover. That’s how I learned the names of the people in the band, and what instruments they played.
Now you can go to the website and read about the people. And then link to the individual artists and see what other projects they’re working on.
The death of the band is the precursor of the death of the album. Who plays bass for Kelly Clarkson? MTV killed the band because everyone wanted to be a diva and musical talent became secondary. Great bands make great albums. No bands, no albums.
The notes and the lyrics are great. But all of that stuff is online.
