I have no idea of the specifics, but it could be that Sony overpressed
REDHEAD -- there was a fair marketing push behind that album (or perhaps it
only seems that way to me because Bleu is a local boy), which unfortunately
did not at all translate into appreciable sales -- and they wrote off a big
chunk of them as a tax loss. Or it could be any number of other things.
