Not at all, but that's technological progression.  I
replaced my scratchy LP's with CD's and have PAL VHS
videos of Take it or Leave it, Dance Craze, Complete &
Utter, but I'd love to get them on a Region ONE DVD,
even though I know that'll probably never happen. 
Rereleasing the same compilation CD on another CD with
an extra 50p worth of artwork is unnecessary and
manipulative, says I.

Then why does the Madstock CD have nothing newer than
Sun & the Rain and Wings of a Dove?  Can't count The
Harder They Come.  I haven't seen anything newer
featured at the other Madstocks in the limited
haven't-been-there exposure I've had to them, so they
do seem to me like just trotting out the 80's hits
(not that there's anything wrong with that...).

Actually this also sounds like the reason they played
Hawaii, as I recall it described.  Heck, I'd play
Hawaii too....
