Mmmm, this 'featuring' thing isn't a recent invention Leonis. Having a quick look at 2 of my CDs I can very easily come up with:
The Skatalites feat. Don Drummond The Skatalites feat. Roland Alphonso The Soul Brothers feat. Roland Alphonso The Skatalites feat. Bob Marley & The Wailers The Skatalites feat. Stranger Cole & Ken Boothe The Skatalites feat. Jackie Opel The Skatalites feat. Margarita The Skatalites feat. Jackie Opel & Doreen Schaffer These tracks date from 1962ish onwards. I would argue therefore that marketing in this way - by highlighting the involvement of well known names (at least to the target audience) has a bit of history, at least in Jamaican modern music.

Hey, Epona, my father-in-law has an old LP by, "The Harry James Orchestra, featuring Frank Sinatra," so it has been going on longer than that. And, you are right, it is to take advantage of "name recognition," hoping to stand out in a crowded market.

in the words of the great DJ Jelousy:
"This one goes out to anyone putting that Bull**** on the air waves... Knock that **** off f'real ya know what i'm sayin'? That **** is some greedy *** fake bull ****, and when that come and slap you in the face, you know i'm talking: that Greed, I'm gonna be right there laughin' at chall, On one other thing: While you keep on fakin' the funk, we're just going to keep on walkin' through the darkness carryin' our tortches! Now lets get back to the program! Undeground will live foreva' baby!

Adding diversity, interest and even credibility is fine. When people are being pushed the collaboration over and above the actual song, and when it seems like they've gone - "screw it, we've got so many guest stars they could fart in a mic and it would sell millions" - that's what annoys me. But it's the proverbial head against the brick wall isn't it? Fine music will keep getting made and sold, but it faces an increasingly difficult war of attrition against "music artists" who are all about looks, image and advertising deals.
