I'll pass, personally.
I find artists tend to go into 3 stages (with a 4th in writing).
Beginner breakout - (the Sun Elvis stage)
Craftsman stage - (the big hit Elvis stage)
Repeating the formula with little invention - (the Fat Elvis stage)
and in writers -
the Ghost Writing by another writer with the Big Writer's name on it - (the Ghost Elvis stage).
I like to read stage 1 and 2. Sometimes some stage 3 work is worth a look. I never bother with stage 4 from anybody.
(How to tell a stage 4 from a regular collaboration? Check the ages of the authors. If they pretty much match, or the fame stage is pretty much the same, figure it's a true collaboration. If the big name of the two is much older and/or the second name is much less famous, figure a stage 4...
