Bangles "doll Revolution", Elvis Costello "North" are two more examples
of bonus "stuff" being included right off the bat.
I find both AiAimmeann and The Thorns reissues aggravating. I usually
don't fall for the reissue scam unless the bonus material is something
I want. In both of the above instances I would love to have what is on
the bonus disc but I refuse to pay twice!!! If they truly cared about
the fans they would make it available to purchase by itself.
And they wonder why people download and burn?
