I suspect that all too many of our listeners are in the same situation
as myself...?! Over the last two or three years, I have seen Gazillions
of new discographic works appear...be sold at impressively-low
special prices...and then suddenly become "OBSOLETE--NO LONGER
AVAILABLE"...meaning one's only choice is to hope to see a seriously-
overpriced used copy via eWotsit or equivalent...!
