It annoys me as well.
Most irritating (although not exactly IDM) example: The band is Main, the record label is Beggars Banquet. Six CD EPs, about $12 CDN each. That's $72. A few months later, a double CD with all six EPs, $30. Joy. Oh sure, the EPs are collectors items and have a neato box and booklet and big fucking deal, I'm still out $42. Needless to say, I will not purchase another Main release. Jon
