ppint. 17th Nov 2023		Vinyl Album Various Artists - This Is Sue	philmh ''the duke and the peacock'' was a full-price lp, and one which i don't believe sold especially well - iirc, none of the island group's sold especially well until island entered its purple period - paradoxically, on the pink (pop) label - though whether this was because of relatively poor distribution, or primarily due to poorer promotion - chris blackwell's personal priority seems to've always been pushing singles sales - or in more-or-less equal parts to both, this deponent knoweth not. - ''this is sue'' ''this is blues'', and spectacularly ''you can all join in'' suddenly announced to younger record buyers, apparently countrywide, that there was an awful lot of good music on this label (sue sales didn't really pick up much, i don't believe - though all (or almost all) the sue singles back catalogue was still actually available if you ordered it, sfaiaa) - being *fourteen tracks* for about the price of two singles!
