For ninety quid I'd expect Bob or the head of Sony to hand deliver it.
However, it's still no excuse to download it illegally.
Tut tut.

...'tis a thing of beauty!

Even in these cynical days, I found myself getting annoyed when I read about that.

Surely anyone who wants a bunch of Dylan out-takes will want the three discs. Why go for the one or two disc versions? 'Actually, I think I'll have one third of the available B-sides and rareties.'

So, given that there's no 'ordinary' 3CD package - you have to have the big book etc to get all the music - that's the closest I've come in ages to actually thinking a bunch of business people are scum.

The two disc arrived this morning. I'm now searching the web for somewhere to download the third disc from.

The music industry dosen't really help itself does it?

Why on earth didn't they leave the live stuff of and put it into a 2 disc set. And how many have they sold of the 1 disc set. Who do they think their audience is?

It really is baffling. There's a bit more of this going around too: the Radiohead In Rainbows Box was the only place to get a cd of 8 extra songs, but you're paying for packaging and vinyl copies of things already on cd. Oasis have done a special edition of their new one for £50, which is the only place you can get the extra cd. Part of the price again seems to be getting it on vinyl also, but why would you need both? One or the other would do me.
