NPR : Death of the 'Concept' Album?"

[Joseph Pappalardo]

I thought many on the list would be interested in this story from "NPR :
Death of the 'Concept' Album?"

With the effect radio has on the record industry and vice-versa....I found
it to be quite fascinating.

Since this is from NPR, it's an "audio story" for those with sound and
RealAudio.
