[edit] Sub Pop response to album leak

From the November 25, 2006 issue of Billboard in an article about indie labels dealing with album leaks ("The Safety Dance" by Katie Hasty):

Sure to be one of the biggest indie releases of 2007, "Wincing" was sent to 1,050 journalists and retail employees as a watermarked advance, a first for the label. But 2 1/2 weeks after servicing, the album infiltrated peer-to-peer networks.

"This leak is such a small part of the whole machine, but dealing with a record we hope will sell a lot of, we have to be able to count on every asset," Sub Pop A&R/manufacturing manager Stuart Meyer says. The label was able to hunt down the leaker, who was "cut off [from promo lists] and admonished," but the damage was already done.

[edit] Description

This section sounds a bit too opinionated and almost review-like for an encyclopedia. Maybe editing or deletion is needed? Sperac01 04:56, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Then edit or prod it. ReverendG 00:28, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Backing Vocalist

[edit] Split Or Spilt?

On attempting to search for track 9 on iTunes I discovered that the track was called Split Needles, not Spilt Needles.

Can anyone with a hard copy of the album change this, for I am not sure 88.106.185.97 16:06, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

It is "Spilt Needles" on the liner notes. --Paul Erik 15:23, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
