As much as I agree with both of you, Eric and Peter, one that want a very
limited CD, one that distribute/manufacture one, I think that such releases
should not be announced on a list like this ... It creates frustrations on
both part...
Trust me, I've had my share of frustration trying to find limited releases
over the years ( fax and elektrolux labels are known to be quite limited )
As much as I hate it, I have to agree with Eric when he comparing limited
CD's to limited prints of an engraving ... A friend of mine is an artist, a
painter, and sometimes he makes engravings ( eau fortes ) , and he only
makes a few of them, and he doesn't sell them all ... and if he does sell
them all and you want one, too bad, ... maybe in the future, he make another
series ....
I think that in some situations, CD's should be considered as art objects
and not as a commercial objects ( not the rights words, but close to it ).
You want a painting of a known artist, pay for it, or simply get a lesser
quality poster, or a fake ( that you can't really show anyway ... ).
Anyway ... the point I'm trying to make is that very limited edition CD's
should not be advertised on a public mailing list ... and one must not make
the assumptions that one can get all the CD's released everywhere and
everytime ...
Max Who's babbling too much on this nice afternoon !!!!
