alas dear friends, you can add my voice to the chorus of discontent surrounding the Deeluxxed version of Tell Tale.

No sir, I shan't be purchasing this elegant package of musical treasure; well not at the going rate.

I've purchased it all....books, CD's, CD remasters and reissues, soundtracks with one Bob song...you know the score.

However, I balk at this offensively priced new collection of majesty.

I cannot stand idly by as the record company and agents and managers gouge the fans.

No I will not purchase the deeluxable Tell Tale Signs with the bonus disc and the hand tooled saddle leather bound volumes of photgraffix, and the pants Bob wore for the Down in the Groove cover, and Charlemagne's toenail, plus a signed copy of the Magna Carta and other wondeful trinkets.....

No, I shall content myself with the 2 Disc Set and the bonus side order of envy......

Yes, I will dutifully pick up the 2 Disc spectacular, AND, the new CLASH release....Live at Shea Stadium and I shall enjoy my 7 October with my 2 favourite musical entities.

Yes, I love Bob, seen him 50 plus times live, BUT, The Clash really cared about their fans and provided them VFM, Value For Money.

Yes, I know The Clash aren't Bob...it's a whole different thing, but The Clash would never.....NEVER charge One Hundred and anything for 3 CD's.
