FROM BLOOD MUSIC:

Regarding the Mystery releases: we contacted the artist after sending some royalty money their way, asking them not to kill us.

They responded cordially but seemingly confused. We wound up explaining the situation, and they thanked us for the information, and that was all.

We still have no idea how they feel about this. Clearly, they set the rights up for this to happen but perhaps didn't actually expect it to occur (or occur so suddenly). It is the first time in history this has happened! We know of one other well-known artist who tried the same thing, and their experiment failed - they wound up pressing the records themselves.

The artist still has yet to see the final items. So, until they make a statement, we are just as in-the-dark as you. They did not seem angry, though! And that is all we can say. 

We are proud of what we've done and lots of people have expressed huge excitement over the artist and the subject matter. So, we only hope they will see the items and appreciate them as *almost* everyone else has.

We have no more information until they decide to make a statement.

Since the first people received their records yesterday, the information has leaked on which Mystery record is which. You can find out what were the mysteries by clicking here.

"You guys may well be the first commercial label to distribute an artist's entire CC-licensed album without their knowledge."
