Special edition CD's / bonus tracks

doctornovocalcords [Edit] [Delete] 17:00, 25 October '07

Quite annoying? It's nice to be able to have the original album as intended and not have to think about stopping the CD before the crap, unwanted alternate / demo versions come on. Extra singles are sometimes nice though.
It's fine if they are put on a separate disc but surely most people would just rather the basic album at a decent price with no useless extras.

Also why so many crap transfers of albums on to CD? I just ordered Tusk by Fleetwood Mac and got the expensive remastered 2-disc edition because the original CD is supposed to have an edited version of "Sara" and have a shit transfer.
I suppose it means the record company can then go and release just such a "special" edition and make yet more money. Grrr. Maybe I should just download everything.

End of rant.
