You see, as with the Hood and the Moodymann private pressings, the rationale would make sense to me if the tracks were clearly so much better than anything on the LP's which followed soon after. In my opinion, that was not the case. Not to say that these tracks aren't great. They are, but I really couldn't say that they outshone material on the subsequent LPs. (Again, imo.) So it becomes obvious that Peacefrog are exploiting not the fact of the extra-specialness of these PP releases but the willingness of some folks to buy releases which are at least partly more valuable because they're deliberately limited and because they're from some admittedly, legend-in-their-own-lifetime artists, to us anyway.
And to show that I am just as susceptible to this evil tactic as the next 313 head, I did buy the Rob Hood track! It hurt to leave the KL one on Saturday - it was purely do to with some residual good-sense on my part! ... plus I'm gambling the shop I saw it at will still have copies by Thu - payday! k >-----Original Message----- >From: Martin Dust [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 4:58 PM >To: 313@hyperreal.org >Subject: Re: (313) Putting a Price on good music > > > >> Will probably raise some controversy but the new Kenny larkin on >> Peacefrog is worth every penny of the 14.99 I paid.... > >Is it only one track again? > >Martin > >
