Couldn't agree more.
Sadly all these releases of really crappy b-sides, bootlegs, unreleased material, etc, is being done for the benefit of record companies wanting to keep the copyright intact.
I think if Apple didn't give us freebies every week like they are doing now, that the 12 days this year would have been better. Last years was much better.
But then so was the music in 2012. 2013 was mostly overhyped garbage with leftovers, with very few good releases at the beginning of the year.
It was the year of the single. In the case of mainstream acts anyway.
