Ever have your favorite band remaster/remix all your old favorite records and add a bunch of previously unreleased tracks so you just about *have* to buy them again?
A year or two ago, an NZ band re-released their album only a couple of months after the first release. I was really annoyed until I heard the two extra songs on the radio, which really weren't up to the standard of the rest of the album.
These days I'm re-listening to a lot of stuff that I already own. I'm now starting to appreciate the subtleties that I never picked up on when I was younger, and it's making me enjoy a lot of songs that previously didn't interest me. I'm also appreciating a good album as a work in itself, rather than just a collection of songs. On the other hand, most of my listening at the moment is iTunes on random play...
I'm only lucky (I guess) that I never updated the worn-out cassettes for some of the releases so I'm not buying the CDs AGAIN...
Send the cassettes back to the record company and tell them you've already paid for the music so you should get a discount on the CDs (I'm actually half-serious about this, but I also know how far you'll get).
