Eminem - Recovery album rumors that I think are great marketing strategies

[Jakez]

Been hearing plenty of rumors lately, some backed by pretty good evidence. Most notable ones:

1. I hear Recovery is going to be a double CD (seen a supposed list of CD 2 that is all included features from Slaughterhouse, D12, and others) and that CD 1 was leaked (purposely of course) in order to flood the internet with download links and torrents so that when news of the 2nd CD came about it would be hard[er] to find the complete album or at least stall until the official release date.
Edit: here's the supposed tracklist I saw for the 2nd CD:
1. Again?
2. Despite Them Feat. Cashis
3. T.M.I.
4. Don't Look Back
5. Outta The Park Feat. 50 Cent
6. Bait feat. Slaughterhouse
7. Look For Cars
8. Rewind & Pause
9. Beggin' You Feat. Hayley Williams
10. Love/Hate
11. Perfection(Bonus Track)
12. Hit Me With Your Best Shot (Bonus Track) Feat. D12

2. I really like this one, and it has the most evidence (pic below). Allegedly there is a download card inside the Recovery CD case for people to download the Relapse 2 album that everyone thought was coming. This is a great idea because there will be no CD's pressed allowing for early leaks and of course the downloads will be blocked until the album is officially released. If this is true then it will create a huge buzz AFTER the release date which is what they really want since the buzz can convert into sales right away.

Sounds Shady to me.

LOL, indeed. If these turn out to be false, especially the 2nd one, it would be kind of surprising the length people go just to make their rumors seem true.

I forgot, not only was there a bonus track called "Untitled" that didn't make the original leaks, but if you look on iTunes there's 2 more bonus tracks now..

And that first rumor I posted is most likely bullshit, people probably have it confused with the Recovery LP, which is 2 vinyl's because the album won't fit onto 1 vinyl, so people are thinking it's a double CD.

Leaking a short duration of music (for example, 2 minutes) is a good way to advertise.
However, leaking all the music is bad - everybody would download it without ever paying for anything.

didnt relapse 2 end up actually being released as the relapse:refill that came out a while back?
