This (the above) and the customer service from MK.com regarding distribution of the album in it's various guises is great marketing for MK I must say. :disbelief

thinking that Heavy Fuel,The Bug and Solid Rock can sell better than
SOS TR and TOL is a very smart idea indeed ...
Ideed this is stupid... or, rather, this could explain that MK, rather than the record company, makes decisions, and that they are not based on money but rather on "artistic" criteria like "I want a setlist as different as possible from Alchemy, those '83 versions are better anyway (but keep R&J because hey, every live record of mine should have R&J on it) !".
Though I think that with Alchemy (with the BBC documentary and Old Grey Whistle test trakcs) + On the night + Music for Montserrat + ANIL + RLRR DVDs, we have a pretty neat official video suite; we would need something more recent, though...

The technocrats think that with such ways they help business economics, and when all you count is money, they might be right. But they surely don't take into account either the enviromental factors (the environment pays dearly and doesn't complain-or is it?) and the human factor (I mean when would they stop thinking about people as consumers-it is all done for them and workers-they raise the cost of production... and this is only just for starters)
Come on, it is not funny anymore.

My guess is that Amazon stores got it straight from the factory in Europe, that is why they got it earlier than MK.com, so no extra miles.
