[boc-l] New albums

[Christian Eric Mumford]

2OC just do the live retro and country fair type circuit these days, too bad, cause their "newer" albums like Heaven Forbid and Hidden Mirror etc were great. Hawkwind and loads of spinoff acts and people keep putting out stuff on large and small labels, often just fan supported type and Hawkwind, though never as big and glitzy rawk act as BOC at their peak, they have such a larger grassroots fanbase with psych collectors, rave culture, old progheads as well as newer Stoner rock fans whatnot. BOC + HW together dont nearly touch a new Black Sabbath album sales wise i would assume. Sales are measured in both download and physical. If BOC put out vinyl people would rush to collect no doubt.

You think albums actually sell these days, for anyone? It's possible older acts with older fans (like BOC and Hawkwind) see more sales just because a good chunk of their fans don't do digital or have some remnant loyalty to the idea of "owning" music.

It's interesting how some older bands desert the studio while others persist recording and releasing new albums. Surely a new BOC akbun would sell more than a new Hawkwind studio platter, yet the former hasn't released a new work in ten plus years while the latter continues releasing new material. Opinions?
