And, so they can change the credits, so that more money can be made off a
song, and of course, aquiring the rights to a song. Look at the Business
Trip album writing credits, and compare them to the original 70's versions:
Didn't Calvert write 'Welcome To The Future' AKA 'This Future' by
Brock/Davey/Chadwick? Didn't Turner co-write 'You Shouldn't do That' with
Brock, or did Brock/Davey/Chadwick write this hitherto unheard ditty called
'Do That'? Simon King wrote 'The Iron Dream' - Brock/Davey/Chadwick
possibly proved a point by aptly retitling it 'The Dream Has Ended'. Don't
get me wrong, it's a great album and all, it's just a little disturbing....

Here I go again.....
