Songwriting Is Changing For Streaming

Vinyl also heavily influenced the running order on albums, and which tracks were included. The old industry put down when artists asked for a double album was to be asked, "who do you think you are, the Beatles".

All Grandmaster Flash and the wheels of steel.

I wonder who was the first to use either tape or record "cueing" sounds.

I think Soniclife gave a pretty plausible answer for pop music.

I know that both the French (Schaeffer et al at RTF) and Germans (Stockhausen & co at WDR) used sped up and reversed same sounds in pieces made in the early 1950s. But I would not be surprised if Halim el Dabh (Egypt?) or Jack Elit (Aus / London) was earlier, but not recognised for it.

Exactly. Incidental. Admission: I don't even have a copy of TOTO's best/greatest hits.

I do.
