    Black, white, continental, stateside - what about CD vs MP3?

    Since they have gone to the trouble of identifying my BBC-steeped demographic and our fondness for androgynous musicians in black eyeliner, you think they'd clue into better distribution. This same demographic bought most of the songs two times or more - on tape or LP in the early 80's, replaced with CD later on, and perhaps even later with a download.

    If they did it right, I'd be able to go to iTunes, uncheck the songs I already own, and download the rest at a reasonable package price.

    The music blogs are already posting their suggestions for "missing tracks", fans of the genre should look around online to discover more music than they will ever find in an amusing phone-booth package.
