Thread Name: Sandy Denny 19CD boxed set
Subject: RE: Sandy Denny 19CD boxed set
I'm beginning to get angry. I bought all of Sandys solo LP for their full price. I bought the original CD reissues for their full price because at that time CDs seemed to be the way to go. I bought the 2005 CD reissues for their full price because they were advertised as digitally remastered which suggested a proper sound. Now you're telling us "Also Sandys solo albums have been properly remastered and are in noticably better sound than the 2005 re-issues." That is, with the first two CD series we have paid lots of money for crap. Now, if we finally want it in proper quality, which we should have gotten before, we are graciously allowed to pay a steep amount of money again. And probably in five years the same game starts over again with the next definitive Sandy Denny box.

I am not against paying good money for good worth -- I spend 300 to 500 Euros a month for LPs and CDs. But I am dead agaist being ripped off by having to pay lots of money over and over again just to have a copy of "Lord Bateman".
