Everyone talks about GUN control........well, MOST of us QQers have TRIGGER FINGER on the BUY button paranoia ....... gotta have IT day/date of release......or else.........Most of the big box sets from the Majors are pressed in sufficient quantities and probably will end up as WAREHOUSE DEALS or blow~out sales from Deep Discount, etc. The smaller labels do require QUICK ACTION or else they DO disappear....as do reissued SACDs [LIMITED QUANTITY]!
Buying Pepper 9 months later BRAND NEW, Sealed, for roughly HALF the price MOST of us paid for it [some MORE] was indeed a coup. I played Pepper [the BD~A] TWICE....never even glanced at the book nor played the multiple RBCDs.
Maybe I should take the same approach with The White Album, especially with a super sleuth like you, Clinty, on board...........But then I have to hear how good or bad it sounds ....ad nauseam and naturally have to have it sooner than later....oh well!
