Yeah.. it SUCKS.. don't know when you started to get MCH releases, but even someone like me , who started in 2008, there are still a LOT od discs that I missed the "window of opportunity"!!! but I was lucky enough to find a few on places like jpc.de (both Al Dimeola SACDs for 13 EUR each and Pat Metheny's Imaginary Day for 18 Eur.. WOW!!!), hmv.co.jp (both Foreigner DVD-As for 25 EUR each and Billy Cobham's Spectrum DVD-A for 30 EUR), etc.
Many titles were already ridiculously expensive...!!!
Although, I picked up a few DVD-A’s (Dire Straits, The Eagles, Faith Hill, Fleetwood Mac, Queen) in the beginning starting in 2001, it wasn’t until around 2007 that I started to acquire more surround titles. I passed on some (like the first few Depeche Mode and Genesis titles as an example) that I kinda wished I had now. Hopefully, the Foreigner and other titles will see a re-release.
