Can't agree with bohemianconspiracy. The free album is great for music and the charlatans. They were out of contract and unable to get a record contract so giving the album away is a great idea. Gig tickets are 20quid plus so the revenue from the gig far outweighs the revenue from a CD (about £1.20 for the band split five ways.) So if anything it highlights the fact bands, even new ones don't need these greedy record companies. The new album is the best they've done. the charlatans are rock.
