has decided to make his new album available as a 'fan pack', along with a special edition of 'Classic Rock' magazine. The idea being that this will see the album available in over 3,000 extra retailers in the UK. Furthermore this edition will be available one month ahead of the regular release.
Whether this will take off remains to be seen. Prince released Planet Earth via a giveaway in the Daily Mail in 2007, guaranteeing him significant coverage ahead of his o2 residency (and also his highest 'sales' figure for many, many years) but this isn't a move than anyone's since copied.
For those interested, the track listing for Slash And Friends (along with the collaborators) is as follows:
1. Ghost (Ian Astbury)
2. Beautiful Dangerous (Fergie)
3. Nothing To Say (M Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold)
4. Crucify The Dead (Ozzy Osbourne)
5. Promise (Chris Cornell)
6. By The Sword (Andrew Stockdale of Wolfmother)
7. Doctor Alibi (Lemmy Kilmister)
8. Saint Is A Sinner Too (Rocco De Luca)
9. Watch This (Dave Grohl/Duff McKagan)
10. I Hold On (Kid Rock)
11. Gotten (Adam Levine)
12. We're All Gonna Die (Iggy Pop)
13. Starlight (Myles Kennedy)

If there was ever an album made for a la carte sales, this is it. I'd love to hear some of these tracks, but I wouldn't touch a lot of his collaborators with a 50-ft. pole. (Myles Kennedy? Really?)
