so as i see it: selling a few copies over ebay is just for helping out us die-hard fans (after all: the hints to look on ebay were only ever on karls diary & the member section - and here of course), to spare anyone of us buying the waaaay overpriced copies.
I agree - don't forget dirtyradio broadcast the set repeatedly and now we're given the chance - with prior warning - to get packaged CDs. Even if neither opportunity had presented itself, I could have been sanguine: this recording will mean more to Japanese fans who were at (or couldn't make it to) this gig, and would have written it off as such because I'm not an obsessive must-have-it-all fan. I did really want this one though, and went out of my way to get it.

I sympathise with you time-displaced dirts though. Given the demand, this is difficult for you.
