[kj] Re-Releases

[Peter Moltesen]

I have to say I'm getting just a tad pissed off with all this re release
business, what with 4 of my favourite bands currently (or just about to have
their back catalogue reissued) New Model Army, the Cure,  Van der Graaf
Generator and now KJ. I bought the original vinyl, I bought the original CD
issues and now I've got to buy the f***ing things again. (Alright I know
that theres nothing forcing me to buy them, other than a sad compulsion for
completeness for my collection).

Whilst I accept that Democracy might benefit from a bit of tweeking, I would
much rather see a seperate disc of rarities being issued rather than having
to buy stuff that I already have (twice over in some cases) with a couple of
extras just tacked on the end.

And still they tell us that its illegal file sharing thats killing music.
Yeah right.

rant over
