[Gllug] Natalie Imbruglia CD

[Steve Goodwin]

Although probably not her (Natalie's) fault, I wonder if she'd have enough
clought(sp?) at the record company to change this? (did she instigate it?)
Perhaps if she's doing any record signings someone returning the CD directly
to her saying 'it doesn't work, I won't buy it' will make her think it's not
a good idea. Pretty bruising for her personally, sure, but if the company is
supposed to be looking after her interests and she can directly see lost
sales...

I'm sure 2600 would join us in any anti PR campaign we could arrange :)
