IF people don’t go for your single at $200 a pop, why not just charge them – oh – $2 million for the whole album?

That’s the cunning marketing plan being employed by former KISS guitarist Vinnie Vincent with his long-promised Guitarmageddon album, which has been the subject of all kinds of bonkers plans from the former Ankh Warrior.

“It’s been a long time in the making,” Vincent, 73, wrote on Facebook. “I am very proud of this very special album.

“The entire album will be offered in master format only for $2,000,000. This includes 10 songs mixed in master, final product format, all the master files of the artwork, related posters, and 10 separate vinyl and CD packaging art for each individual song, should the buyer choose to release the album on a per-song basis.

“The buyer can choose to release the entire album in any format they desire … vinyl, CD, or any other configuration, in whole or in part, at their discretion. All marketing plans and ideas require approval by Vinnie Vincent. The price does not include any right, title, or interest in the copyrights and/or trademarks related to Vinnie Vincent or the product itself.

“If the buyer wishes to purchase any associated rights in the compositions, a separate agreement can be arranged and negotiated. The price will also include a perpetual license to use the brand name ‘Vinnie Vincent Invasion’ and ‘Vinnie Vincent’ for the life of the album.”

Alternatively the buyer – presumably someone with record industry aspirations, deep pockets and poor judgement – can buy songs for $200,000 each, subject to the same conditions as above.

Two million US dollars is A$2,862,400.
