In the interest of full disclosure, I am not a The Darkness fan. So it’s with some amusement that this report showed up on The Register.
To summarize, Justin Hawkins, singer of The Darkness, found an advance industry copy on eBay of their upcoming CD (due out at the end of November) that some industry slimeball had put up for auction. Hawkins paid £350 to reclaim it, stating the move was to stop the CD from being leaked prematurely.
To quote, “I’ve bought our own album back off this character who’s selling it on eBay,” he told the BBC. “It cost me £350 and it’s going to be a tenner when it’s in the shops - with artwork.”
The best part of this quote is the “with artwork” bit. For a taste of what passes for The Darkness artwork, open wide and click on the image below for more
