In Reply to: What happened to Elton John's GBYBR? posted by agentalbert on April 4, 2004 at 11:15:44:
This seems to be a common industry practice these days. Add a few really irrelevant extra tracks so the release can conveniently be expanded onto two discs and the consumer be charged twice the price.There's quite a few classic rock albums that all existed on single compact discs (e.g. The Who's 'Tommy', Bob Dylan's 'Blonde On Blonde', Frampton 'Comes Alive', Elton John 'GBYRBR'), yet when it came to issue them on high-rez they were all expanded.
Whatever happened to honoring the original art form? It's all about $$$ today, I'm really not surprised more and more people are turned off by such industry practices and resort to digital downloads..
