Record companies.
That's what.
First, they sold us a vinyl copy of the album, which we happily paid
for.
Then, they re-issued it as a half-speed master, either MFSL, Nautilus,
or CBS's own flavor.
And then they expected us to pony up MORE $$$ for another copy of what
we already owned.
And some people, for whatever reason, bought either 8-track or
cassette copies of the album, buying ONCE AGAIN a copy of what they
already owned, for the same price as they originally paid.
Then along came cd's. And we had to pay $18 a pop for yet ANOTHER
copy of the album that we'd already paid for two-and-a-half times
over.
Fine. I don't like it, but I don't have a choice. The original vinyl
sounded like ass and was pressed on thin, flimsy recycled vinyl with
pieces of paper in it.
Now, they are remastering and reissuing all those same cd's as before,
maybe throwing a b-side or two in, and now expecting us to run out and
pay ANOTHER $15 for ANOTHER copy of the album that we've ALREADY
BOUGHT THREE TIMES. "I'm sorry the original cd sucked so hard. We've
remastered it the way we should have done 10 years ago - our mistake.
Please pay us again."
At some point, do they give us "updgrade pricing"??? "Mail your old
cd in plus $6 and we'll send you a copy of the new one"??????
Hell no. It's just an extortion scheme that they get away with
because they are the only ones you can buy that title from, they have
you by the short hairs, and you are pretty well screwed.
It pisses me off. A lot.
Sorry. Had to rant.
