Default Removing Vocals from a Song

There's only one question i have whenever this topic comes
up in this group.


Well, actually two.


#1: ISn't this usually done for karaoke?


IME most karaoke that is done in public venues (e.g., a bar) is based on
specially-made recordings. Basically, the recording is an instrumental-only
cover. With good musicians and good production, a close match to the popular
recording can be obtained, if that is what is desired. Often a close match
is not desired. Many popular songs are too hard for most people to sing
well.

#2: IF the artist and publisher wanted their song done at
karaoke joints wouldn't they provide a vocals free version
for sale?


Exactly.
