1. You somehow managed not to buy any Delancey St. stuff despite all the
positive reviews on this list for over 2 years. Then you should be one
happy procrastinator.
2. You have the BB stuff and you don't have the 13th Sign EP ("Back In the
day" has been a favorite of mine for a while) or Beamish & Fly's "Stoked"
(My favorite on the whole thing).
3. You just want Marden Hill's "HiJack" on disc.
4. You just gotta have the few new tracks.
5. Your wallet is on fire.
The CD has one HUGE drawback. It is continuously mixed by bel (not the
drawback necessarily but does not add much) and they lazily pressed the CD
without tracks. It is not that hard to index a CD by tracks even if it is
contiuously mixed (e.g. every other DJ mix CD on the planet). Oh well,
maybe you can buy it on vinyl.
Seguing to a recent past CD/Vinyl debate:
At least one person was complaining that the Ninjatune "Flexistentialism" CD
had more tracks than the vinyl. But did not the vinyl version have 1 or 2
tracks not on the CD? Is it possible that extra vinyl tracks are better
than the 6 or 7 CD tracks? I do not have either at the present but it is my
recollection that the extra CD tracks were stuff that people may already
have. If nothing else releasing CD/vinyl this way bankrupts the neurotic
collectors and that can't be all bad.
