Then after a few weeks of listening I realised what a dumb thing I'd done. I now hated music and felt drained and depressed after listening to it. I literally threw it into the pacific ocean and went and bought a used D777 discman at Hard Off.
You must feel so cool listening to a discman in public. No shame not following the crowd, especially when the crowd is wrong!

The Artists who release all these multiple format deluxe issues are doing it because they will get the collector fans to buy it. The rich collector will buy the $200 version. The not so rich will buy the inexpensive version. Some of the Artists have done this multiple times of the same record. Offering you something new are better remastering. For example Metallica , Marillion, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin. I think its dilluting the collector marketplace so bad I have stopped collectiong ! You never can have everything unless you are rich. Just remember you cannot take it with you. Strawberry Fields forever - Nothing is real.

I mean some scenes and dialogue are just so classic. Think Harrison Ford's banter in Star Wars, all those one liner movies and classic battle scenes in movies. Always new details to pick up in battles. Some soundtracks are endlessly listenable too, Star Wars again.

The not so rich will buy the inexpensive version. $200 isn't really out of reach for anyone in the developed world, even most on welfare, so I disagree that only the rich will buy the $200 version. The hardcore fans of that artist will, rich or not so rich, if they perceive it as the ultimate version they'll find a way to get it. As a CD collector a clean good condition copy of the general release is what I'm after. Unless the $200 version sounds better or has tracks I can't find anywhere else I won't pay for just the status and presentation.
