I wonder -
If this was a limited edition t-shirt or print that had different items -
like 3 slightly different limited t-shirts that were then charged a higher
price for - not everyone will be wearing it, you would satisfy the
collector urge, and have something that will increase in value later.
would you complain or would you be tempted to buy it or desire it? But not
really complain because it's not a record.
everyone here wants records (or most of us do?) - is it the fact that it is
a record and not some other item? it's an art piece - maybe Jeff should
have made custom covers or put a fingernail clipping in the sleeve or
something to get that message across that he is trying to make it something
a little more than just a 12" you buy every day.
I get the feeling that if it wasn't a record but some other kind of item
there wouldn't be so much b*tching about it.

limited editions to me seem to be about turning the beat down - records
communicate a message - if the producer wants to limit the people who get
that message then thats fine by me. I would rather that than flooding the
market with the same stuff and every dj having the same box of records.
Okay Moodymann and Mills make good records, but you dont want to hear it
everywhere you go. Keep diggin in the crates, theres plenty of techno out
there.
