Sinister: re: box set

[andrew dean]

box set of the first 3 eps? i don't see the point.
there's only a very small corner of the market that'll
be even vaguely interested.

someone said the box set will make things easier for
people to discover belle and sebastian. doesn't make
sense. nobody's going to splash out nearly 30 bucks on
a box set by someone they haven't heard before,
they'll buy one of the eps, risking maybe $10 and go
from there. if they like it they'll continue with the
others, if they don't then at least they haven't spent
much.

anybody who has even one of the old eps isn't going to
bother with the box set cos of the duplication
involved. this is the reason i never bothered with the
galaxie 500 box set or the this mortal coil one even
though they both contained new material - 30 quid for
3 cds that i already had plus one that i didn't. makes
no sense. (and if they do include new material on the
cds just to force people to buy the box set then they
are evil)

if they insist on selling all the eps in one go then
put them all on one disk - uses a lot less in the way
of resources and is just more convenient for
everybody. put the new artwork on the front of this
compilation rather than waste more resources on a box
to go around them all.

and selling the box (slipcase, whatever) on it's own?
why? maybe i should buy one just to make sure that
they'll no longer fit on the shelf next to all the
others.

i think it's safe to say that we'd all rather have
something new instead. what is it, a year now?

can't find the eps in LA? my girlfriend did easily
enough. try aron's. it's in the yellow pages. they'll
order any that they don't have in stock.

poetry cafe friday: is the bloke from trigger happy tv
going to be in the basement reciting his tribute to
the number 5,000,000? he can't have finished yet.

got new years eve photos back last week. they're
dreadful.
