Fifty Shades; The Album?

    Just read this over on digitalspy:
    The classical pieces on the album have been collected as an accompaniment to EL James's erotic novel series.

    Fifty Shades of Grey - The Classical Album will be released digitally on August 21, followed by a physical release on September 18.

    The label credits the books for the recent rise in classical music sales, with Thomas Tallis's 16th century 'Spem in Alium' having topped the UK classical charts after it was referenced in Fifty Shades of Grey.

    EL James said: "I am thrilled that the classical pieces that inspired me while I wrote the Fifty Shades trilogy are being brought together in one collection for all lovers of the books to enjoy."

    Pieces by Chopin, Bach, Debussy and Vaughan Williams are also among the album's tracklisting.

    Of course it's milking a franchise for all it's worth, BUT-

    If it creates a renewed interest in classical music, then I'm all for it!

    You can fill an entire album with "Schlick Schlick"?

    I couldn't believe it when I saw the album on iTunes. Let's just call it music to finger yourself senseless with.

    I'm sure the idiots will buy it regardless. " I just bought all ten albums to see what the fuss was about!!11!"

    No you're not, you're thrilled you'll scrape another few million for being distinctly talentless as a writer.

    Is Nessun Dorma on it, nothing makes me more excited than hearing that music and remembering world cup finals past, well maybe Marty Morrissey's commentary.
