Schody

Article summary

Schody (English: Stairs) is the sixth studio album by the band Perfect, released on 1 April 2004 in a digital version (paid MP3 files) through the portal Interia.pl. It was officially released by Universal Music Polska in CD and LP formats in the autumn of the same year. It is the first album in the history of Polish popular music to be originally released in a digital format. The album's release was delayed due to the promotion and release of the compilation Perfect Symfonicznie. The band's vocalist, , cited the fight against widespread music piracy and theft as a reason for the digital release, as well as enabling broader access for listeners, including those living abroad: "This is a step towards internet users. Poland has lagged behind a bit when it comes to selling music this way. I think it's significant for people living outside big cities or abroad". The band initially sent tracks via email as a gift, eventually developing the idea of releasing the album online. By the end of March 2005, the album had been downloaded approximately 7,000 times from Interia.pl; it is estimated to have sold around 10,000 copies in total.
