Interesting article in today's Wall St Journal (April 20, 2007) about the constant re-issue of some re-issues(Elvis Costello), it hits upon Nick Lowe owns all his masters and has been waiting for all worldwide licenses to expire before he re-issues his out -of-print albums either the end of this year of the beginning of 2008. So hold on...

Ooh boy...should I dump my old CDs on eBay? What if it turns out to be a download-only deal?

Jimbo:
Don't unload those just yet. As you pointed out, they may turn out to be download-only, or (just as bad) SACD-only.



However, if these turn out to be good old basic CD releases, I'll definitely be on-board. It's taken WAY TOO LONG for these albums to resurface!

When was the last time there was an SACD that wasn't a hybrid? We should be so lucky that he gives us a hirez option.

I'd be all for the SACD option, hybrid of course.

I've seen all three Labour Of Lust, Jesus of Cool, and Pure Pop For Now People actually selling for "silly money" on Ebay ($40-$55)...and my efforts to track down a copy have been fruitless. Amazon has a used copy of "LOL" for $85.95....
