Thanks, Domingo. I'd quite forgotten about the Sony batch of reprints (Dylan, Clash, Mott et al.) which, as you said, was a real kick in the teeth for collectors.

Thanks too for clearing up the Beach Boys reprint issue. I thought the 1998 obi was the one shown on this site



but I am familiar with the other, original obi to which you refer. So now I have two more questions: why did Toshiba-EMI change the colour design of the 2005 obi but retain the 1998/2000 dates as information printed on the obi and, secondly, does this mean that Toshiba-EMI have a policy of NOT exactly reprinting original series? Basically, I'd like to know what the chances are of the 2001 Pink Floyd series being EXACTLY reprinted. Now that really would break my heart.

With best wishes,

Stuart
