The Shivvers: Three Minutes of "Teen Line"
Packaging and presentation really do effect underground musics and the folks who buy wares as much as people picking up on some new Bieber, or whatever. A well respected, low key imprint might birth some album universally lauded as a lost classic, but the music, if issued through Universal would be received by the same cohort as commercial nonsense. Regardless of which way the scenario plays itself out, a group of people is either going to be precluded from or not want to hear the music.
Human beings are dumb.
