Our guys have never been ones to follow the herd. In fact, they have a history of being different and always have. I'm not saying this is why he didn't release these, I'm just saying that the fact his contemporaries did it wouldn't have been a consideration for him. I'm sure those who ride the backs of artists to make their money gave him all the great financial reasons to do it, but whatever those arguments were, he felt he had better ones to decide otherwise. Like you, I'd love to know the reasons, but I can't even guess as to what they are. I will say that overexposure and too much commercialization can be a negative thing long term, and it's very possible he couldn't come to an agreement financially. When thinking of the term 'giving in', none of our guys ever pop into my head.
