Agreed, but there is also something more fundamental: CD is obsolete technology. I mean, it still has a place, but is now in permanent decline.

For example, true LZ fans will have all their music. However, I have purchased LZ 1 to 4, each cost me £5 from HMV and Fopp - Fopp now having closed. Some fans will buy a cd to replace an earlier non-remastered version - if the price is right. Also, competion from such internet suppliers (Play, cd101, etc) have driven prices down in the "second purchase" market. I bought the Mott the H Live Dudes - great cd, but sound quality is basic in some tracks. Regards Gerry Dear Tim
