I would also have zero problem with all of this IF they were releasing the music in a sensible digital format. The issue I have with limited edition 180g's or the play once format is that serves only to restrict the number of people that can enjoy the music, whilst inflating the cost. As a side note, I have just heard that the play once special will be £4500. Ouch!

My guess is that it will be released as a digital file by Fondamenta or another label later. This is how Mosaic does it's boxed sets, they release the analogue and Sony and others release the digital. If it is Fondamenta the going price for their 176/24 files is under 13 euros. But this all speculation and your point is fair. I have confidence there is more in store here.

One point to note, I can think of other ways of spending £4.5K for an hours fun! (although to be honest, I'd rather listen to something on the radio for half an hour and find a more productive use for the cash)

If it was Bill Evans and Scottie La Faro and Paul Motian at the Village Vanguard in a brilliant performance I'd never heard before, I'm not sure I could! That experience would be priceless.
