Title: Eric Clapton's new album 'I Still Do' or what's wrong with MK's PR management?

THIS is the kind of thing that makes me want to ask Mark, what's wrong with your PR management, anyway? Just look at this:

I'm speechless. Never been a hard core fan of Eric's, but I definitely WILL buy this thing because of its awesomeness.

I mean — that's the way you do it!

Honestly I imagined Mark's new album to be in a vacuum tube USB format, after all British Grove makes their own tubes. Would be so cool!

But all hard core fans can get, is a standard box set and digital downloads for WAV. I hope they would catch this idea. What could it be?

Guitars USB stick is too obvious and already taken for concert recordings. I can't come up with something, the tube is ingenious!

Over 20 years old, if you want an idea, Mark still had not released his first solo effort yet.

But for my part I don't listen to Eric's studios album, I do prefer live recordings, they are the real Eric.

Wasn't Eric's album recorded at British Grove, hence the tube?
