Re: BBC Observation

[Phil Humpherys <philh@xxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting.  I went to the Media Play "midnight madness" thing
last monday/tuesday where they make available the tuesday
releases on the stroke of midnight.  I did see quite a lot of
people picking up the Zeppelin CD, but I was astouneded how many
people picked up the Metalica release.  I mean, all walks of life
were in there at midnight to get the new Metalica album.  

Unbelieveable.
