"Make them impulse purchases at the supermarket checkout aisles and market them to the classic rock fans who already have surround sound systems--get them interested in the new formats (or not) and then when a bunch of copies of that stuff is sold, they can then move on to the more esoteric titles and maybe even have the money for new surround mixes?
But no. Instead they treat them all as rare, precious commodities with gold-plated pressings that you have to be some sort of "insider" to know they were even released..."
