Netphoria Message Board - View Single Post - What was the hype for Adore like in late 1997?

Back in the days of AOL there were clips of the WAV files from the shows and early on B0lly even called the song Eva Adore. You could even get a full song, but it took forever, so the 30 second clips were easier to find. They had those email mailing lists and you could request the files in the SP chat room. So, people would FWD the audio files that were already uploaded by someone else, so they would not have to wait an hour to upload a 30 second .WAV file. Then they started getting bots that would send you the MP3 files of full albums before they came out. This was way before napster btw, maybe like 1997-1998 when MP3 first became a thing. I got the 1999 silverchair album that way and the james iha solo album. I already bought the adore single early on, so I did not get to hear the album until release date in 1998.
