There seem to be a lot of concerns about the price of this re-release - and it's highlighting a lot of issues about price in general.
However, I'd like to point out something In London, prices are varying. My copy cost me GBP9.99 from Soul Jazz (or whatever they're calling themselves nowadays). This is only about GBP2 more or even less, than the most expensive price of a more conventional release from most other shops specializing in this music. Some shops are slightly above, some slightly below. I would suggest - correct me if I am very wrong - that the situation is similar in the States (although of course this discussion will be moot in ten days I think, as the stocks really *are* finite!). Therefore, whilst a lot of issues worthy of discussion are being raised, I don't think that this is in fact the most expensive record of it's kind around in recent months. From my point of view, if it's a record which you have been seeking, this is probably the best deal going for many years. In view of that, I think the price is fine. Only mho. k
