Just a bad way to rip people off -- and to pollute the nature by using three times more plastic for the same music. If Rephlex wants to earn money on RDJ's old releases then why not release a 3CD box of unreleased stuff instead. According to himself there is plenty. Those who want to have a hard time tracking down the releases separately still have the original editions to search for. I'm getting bored with all this series collecting. It was fun for a while but now I'd rather just buy a good CD and listen to it, and don't care about the cat.no. or whatever.

The $money$ part aside, I don't think this would be a bad idea at all. I already have all three-and-a-half of the CAUSTIC WINDOW e.p.s, but would really like to see them put on disc. This is mainly because my vinyl is getting all `snapped' and `popped' every time I play them, and to have a fresh re-injection of the Joyrexes would be wonderful. And before you suggest it - I *hate* tapes. If anything, a three-disc set would be an added bonus. I am assuming that the original poster meant that in addition to the upcoming/planned CAUSTIC WINDOW album, all of the e.p.s should be released as extra discs (in a set)? That would be novel.

This is a ludicrous point. I don't care how may people write about how they `see copies of the Joyrexes all the time down the street at a local shop'... either the records in question are priced upwards at forty bucks apiece, or they obviously have not been to that shop in a loooooong time. There is a veryVERY slim chance of finding the originals any more.

CAUSTIC WINDOW isn't good? To have them on cd would be nice... then others could buy it and listen to it too. This has barely anything to do with collecting. nahoj. .`-). @@ -' christopher miller o.' evil@digital.net ' on: "Act" by ATOMU' SHINZO (aka Atom Heart)
