I think it's clear from the poll form that I intended you to consider releases from 1994. I had thought of an all time poll but went off this idea for two main reasons: (i) I thought responses might be too diverse to get a consensus from the likely number of replies. (ii) For the results to be used as a shopping list by anyone looking for low risk purchases it ought to be stuff that's still readily available. There are of course borderline cases and there's no way I going to check out release dates for everything you vote on (especially in different markets). But remember that, for example, by voting for Incunabula (as it's already been mentioned) you will be voting for something that many people will have disregarded due to the 1993 release. I hope that clears things up. BTW, I'm receiving a steady flow of votes but looking forward to many, many more. From everyone, in fact !!
