Nah, it's just about record companies re-issueing unreleased stuff from artists who have died, cashing in on the publicity of their death as it were. There might have been a dig at Jeff Lynne who produced a Roy Orbison 'new' CD soon after the Big O passed on
okay.. bear with me. I always thought this was about a self indulgent artist that goes to number one despite all logic and with a lack of true artistic effort. a masturbatory musical product that shoots to the top of the charts courtesy of the corporate record machine. while the once important artist is just a shadow of his former glory and a disappointment to one real fan. perhaps a jeff lynne late in his pop career? anybody?
ghost is not meant to be literal. i think it's about a ghost writer (someone who writes anonymously under a contract) who can't take credit for his song that become famous.
I've noticed that in this video and the Tower Records New Mistake video that Andy Mentions a 3rd album or calls it their next album. I'm starting to wonder if Roger decided to leave on his own rather than them not getting along for whatever reason. Andy seemed more than ready to continue Jellyfish.. but who knows.
@McCainTheTurdburglar as far as i can tell, just an artitst who only got famous posthumously, and i dont see how that would apply to John Lennon....as the previous comment says, but im no expert.
thanks for the semantics. They aren't working in this arrangement. And I reallllly love this band. The Conga/Bongo, goddamned freshman dormroom drum ain't working. it works on other songs they did for this shoot. Read my comments.
Did Andy say something about a new record at the end of this? What is the timing of this video? Is this during the recording of Spilt Milk or afterwards? If its afterwards, and he is talking about a new record... OUCH!

Yes, this was after the recording and release of Spilt Milk. Andy says: "Let's just record our new album". Ouch indeed.
