First, I'm not complainig about the new policy! Second, I'm really and truly happy for the new policy, I don't have to sit at the computer every two weeks (at the night, I'm from Europe) and guess - will be sold out or not, should I get the credit on my credit card or not. But I want to add my 2 cents...
As I'm a collector of japanese releases mainly, I may have a little different point of view. For me the most important thing is quality. I really do appreciate japanese releases for that reason - paper, pressing, additions (thicker booklets, more photos), new technologies (Blue-spec CD, SHM, HDCD, new masterings, etc.) and... accuracy. If they write something on the CD, it's simply true, not a lie (or error, whatever). Obviously errors happens, but not intended. They don't write on the package "limited to xxx copies", but they are limited. They are making repressings and it's fair, no problem. Everyone knows it in advance, not after...
So, YES, new policy is great, but you should think about accuracy and quality of your CDs as well... And yes - this is complainig, YES!
- I wasn't always satisfied with Intrada discs quality, they have had (small, tiny, but always) scratches too often, bad pressings - too often, specially for the last few years (since new releases have been issued every two weeks? I don't know). For 20-25 years of collecting of japanese CDs I had ONE brand new CD with scratches (also tiny), for most of you not important, but I would like to get what I paid - BRAND NEW SEALED PERFECT CD (not replacement in envelope)...
I know I'm in minority in those digital days, when nobody cares about the quality, but I love Intrada and I hope to see Intrada to be a symbol of the quality in soundtracks world.
P.S.
Sorry for my english mistakes, but it's my longest post in english ever, which is not my native language.
