Re: Canadian box sets; was: EMI Manhattan vs. other releases

[Stan Yunick <s-yunick@uiuc.edu>]

I don't know whether all the Canadian box sets contain the el cheapo no
lyric sheet rerelease of the CDs; the box I got was through mail order.
But the whole thing as well as all the individual cds were in (what
appeared to me to be) mint, unscuffed original wrap, and all of them
were indeed Canadian releases not the US EMI-Manhattan ones, but they
were still the cheapo rereleases.

It's possible I got jipped by the store.  But it's equally possible that
I got jipped by EMI Canada, who have started putting the rereleases in
their box sets.
