<< Can anyone think of any other examples of reissues like these that have
particularly ticked them off...? >>
Not sure if this is precisely applicable,
but BOY,
it never took long for any Paul Mc C. fan(atic)
to go broke collecting every permutation
of his multiple-issue (not to mention format!)
albums and especially single releases
between, very roughly speaking,
"Flowers In The Dirt" and "Off The Ground"
(vinyl, Collectors Edition vinyl box sets, 45s, 12-inch, CD-EP's and even
cassingles with ever-changing B-sides and bonus trax, limited-edition and
"official bootleg" releases, "Highlights" single-disc edits, imports, audiophile
remasters, "dub" mixes, "video" mixes.....)
On quite the other hand however,
If you bought a John Lennon "Live Peace in Toronto" and/or "Wedding" elpee
back in the days, and the accompanying booklets were not included, all you had
to do was send a postcard in to Apple/Capitol/ABKCO even and they'd mail the
missing literature, Free of Charge, to your very doorstep!
....which sorta reminds me:
Did everyone see THIS yet......
