Wouldn't it be nice if they were actually numbered limited editions!!
I actually would prefer the editions not be limited. If the demand is there - repress! The whole reason we are asked to pay big dollars for certain out of print items is that their editions (or pressings) were limited. To me, all that does is encourage piracy. Remember, the artist makes nothing off of eBay sales of used or out of print product. It has always mystified me as to why a label would not reprint out-of-print items in high demand.Wouldn't it be nice if they were actually numbered limited editions!!
I do agree with you on your points, but because they state it's a limited edition, I would wish it would be numbered....that's allI actually would prefer the editions not be limited.

As a for instance, I cannot seem to score a copy of Big Big Train - Stone & Steel because it is out of print. Anyone got one for a good price? The Russians are selling pirates on eBay for reasonable money, but I do not want to support that.
In any case, I will be buying in the first round no matter how they present it. It has been a long wait for this one, but it should be excellent!
Well that’s one way to reduce the cost, have somebody else buy it for you!I’m gonna send the Preorder link to the Rhino site to Mrs. Surround as soon as it‘s posted. Gonna make a great birthday present!

yeah, glad I was wrong about my $119.95 guesstimate, but I like the way @ar surround calculates it betterInstant pre-order.
This approach seems to be a real kick in the teeth to retailers. Most of the sales are going to be close to the release, and the label is maximizing their profits. Then throwing crumbs to the retailers when sales drop off.
My credit card is ready to assault batter rape and pillage the the baby Rhino site.$20 a disc is a STEAL for this stuff. OK everyone, I expect a full assault on the Rhino site when this thing gets posted. It's what we should do! After all, we're the first to complain that stuff does not get released, so here you go. Out of the quadraphonic grave yard a phoenix arises. Go get that sucker. Heck, get 2!
Show those bean counters that we have the beans!
I'm good with that I WANT the label to maximize profits....just like I want Dutton to maximize profits...so they will release more titles....in the case of Rhino..they have been very low priced....that Chicago Quadio was an awesome bargain....and that Doors Singles release...they practically gave that one away...they are using the best format(blu ray audio) to give the audiophile crowd what we have been wanting...I won't be shedding any tears for Acoustic Sounds not getting their supply quicker..

Just think of this as a "Rhino Handmade" release, sold directly by Rhino, that will eventually be sold at retail.
I do NOT feel bad for any remaining retailers, as it was the retailers who failed to support the new 5.1 products in the 2000's. I can't tell you how many retail stores I went into and asked "Where are your DVD-A's? SACD's?" and they said "We don't carry those", or "They don't make those anymore", etc. What a joke. I got so annoyed at some of these places. The ones that sold them (Best Buy, Media Play, etc) I did support and buy things from, but they NEVER restocked the good titles which added a big nail in the coffin of the product.
What good is getting 3 copies of "Hotel California" in to sell, selling them, then never getting any more copies? All that did was annoy the people looking to buy stuff, as all they found was the shitty Silverline stuff no one wanted to buy as that was all that was left in the bins. Of course, those people ended up buying one "to try", and they sucked, so they never bothered with it again.
No. Sorry. I don't feel bad for the retailers.
Agreed. At least I don't feel bad for the big retailers. I do feel bad for the remaining indie stores, though. Truth be told, they could/can be pretty clueless when it comes to multi-channel releases, too. But while indie labels are still trying to take care of these stores as best they can, the big labels and their distributors have turned them into second-class citizens. Twice in the past month I've called up my local store to order some brand new RBCD releases, only to get an apologetic call from the store owner the next day that the titles were back-ordered and that he'd let me know as soon as he could get them.
