There’s one example I know of in which a ‘patch’ was released for an album: in 2008, Trent Reznor released a corrected version of the 24/96 version of The Slip (the album he had released for free through nin.com, and at the time, their own torrent tracker) due to a mastering error. The re-release replaced the existing release on nin.com.
It obviously wasn’t technically a patch, and was easy enough to do since it was self-distributed, but it’s not entirely unheard of for a major digital music release to have seen corrections.
- k_sze 5y agoI also remember that Kahvi Collective re-released one of their netlabel albums, "Tangents", to fix a mastering error, although they decided to actually charge for the new version due to mastering effort - their albums are usually pay-what-you-want on Bandcamp (including 0 dollar if you just want to download the FLAC version).
