on an alternative tack, if Dave B reckons he'll reissue when all the old stock has gone, how much does he want for the lot on vinyl? how many copies does he have? a few hundred of each?

some philanthropist or group of entrepreneurs could call his bluff on that one and just take all the stock off his hands...

except I think it may indeed be bluff...still, it would be another hole in his argument.

sigh...
