No Doubt is about to restart it’s creative career once again after many years of total silence by giving their albums for free. However, only those who are going to visit their concerts will be granted with this honourable gift. Anyone who comes to their live performance will get a coupon with a special number which is going to enable free mp3 downloads of No Doubt music, said The Rolling Stone. Also, No Doubt concert tickets will be given out together with the band’s debut album “No Doubt” (1992), “The Beacon Street Collection” (1993), and “Tragic Kingdom” – the album which brought them the world fame in 1995. Downloading ability will permit their fans to get “Return of Saturn” (2000), “Rock Steady” (2001), collection of singles and the most recent song “Stand And Deliver”. Another good example of how bands and their record companies are trying to get around in the changing world of technology. Instead of stopping mp3’s, avi’s and ogg’s they’re searching for new ways to transform methods of selling their products. This gift from No Doubt will practically go only for the price of concert ticket ($42,5) proving many critic’s and expert’s view that a lot of bands out there will rely more on live performances instead of album sales.
Members of No Doubt have commented this move by saying that it will simply popularise the band and just remind the rest of the world that they still exist. They believe that it shall prepare their old and new fans for another comeback.
