The care that that company has taken in re-releases/box sets is a marvel to behold."

This brings up a point that has not been made so far (a.f.a.i.k.) in discussing the immoral CM CDRs: the crap packaging. In these days, a quick bang-out with nil design values and bad typesetting in a bog standard black-tray jewel box is an insult to "classic" recordings. If Nic's albums were properly re-issued by say Topic (or Fledgling) you could be sure that they'd be in a quality digipak or longbox with excellent new notes, historic photos, memorabilia etc. The extra value added to the already desirable music would make them unmissable items, exactly the sort of things which makes people keep buying CDs for their collections rather than lo-fi mp3 downloads.

Anything less than a quality package on a re-issue of a Nic Jones Trailer album is an insult.

By the way, who owns Bandoggs? (Nic, the Coes and Tony Rose). It was released by Transatlantic (not Leader) but with a Leader logo on it. Did that end up in Harrogate too?
