Bungalow with Stairs album

[GoatSucker]

Ordered! I really don't understand the negativity here - ok, it's £30 for an uber-limited exhibition book & CD, were all you complainers expecting something for free?

From what I remember, the CD cost around $30 at the exhibition itself, so getting a free book for not much more is great. I get the sentiment that this could be a digital download also, but that really isn't the point - this was a custom soundtrack for people that went to the exhibition in Japan.

UW said they would ship back the leftover CD's and put them in the online shop - which they've now done. There was never any hint that this would be made available digitally - and why would there? It was only ever intended for the exhibition! There seems to be this idea of having a right to every note ever recorded by R&K, which completely misses the intention behind this music.

Here's a suggestion - You could have gone to the exhibition in Japan. Too cheap for that? Well, today is your lucky day as you get to purchase the book & CD bundle. Too cheap for that? How about shutting the fuck up, then. You don't have a right to demand this in whatever format suits you.

No, but we do have the right to ask questions, wonder aloud, make requests, and vent our pleasure and displeasure (preferably without insult).
If we hadn't been on here asking for ALAF and YDS for years and years the Barking Limited edition may not have happened.
We are fans, vocal and honest.

Kinda the whole point of a forum, no?

No, I was _hoping_ for something in the neighborhood of $20 plus shipping.

How is $15 extra dollars (not to mention the $15 for shipping) not much more?
Not to mention, as I'd said above, if it was $30 to get just the CD, I'd at least be in the ballpark of what I'd hoped/expected.

Is that hostility really entirely necessary? First, I don't see anyone demanding anything, just expressing their discontent. Second, some folks (like myself personally) were wanting the physical release and expecting to have to pay a bit of a premium, just not this much. So why go to the trouble of vocally berating people who are ostensibly also fans like you?
