After all, they're more or less an advertising vehicle for the label. The listener buys a disc that he's pretty sure will have several cuts that don't suit his taste... so if he buys, it must be because he hopes that there will be perhaps just 3 or 4 cuts that knock his socks off. In which case he goes out and buys the source disc(s). More samplers purchased is a win/win scenario. Meet us halfway, labels!
