Eight to ten 20- to 30-second tracks on the EMI record will extol such salables as cellular mobile telephones and fashion and youth magazines. According to Sigue Sigue, each advertising track will cost roughly $1,500, and the promotion will also appear on the album sleeve. The point, says Bassist James, is to keep down production costs.
