there's not that much to be confused by. it's not the Stones so much as the record companies. they know there are die-hard fans that will buy an actual piece of shit, and even pay more if it comes directly from the toilet of a Stones member. this will continue and only get worse. i stay away from the 'special' editions or 'signed' editions. i don't have any care if they will be worth more or not. i buy cheap, and if i can't find it cheap, then i find somewhere to download it for free.
it's such an obvious scam - older bands don't make as much as newer hip-hop bands with the younger fan-base, at least not on new albums. so they have to keep re-releasing older albums with 'bonus' tracks/demos/etc. to keep the same fans buying the same albums over and over. or on newer albums, they will have special versions with a lame-ass dvd or signed edition or whatever and charge a few hundred more bucks. i don't blame them, i see the amount of people that post here and don't have any problem with the prices, so they might as well keep doing it -- people will always buy shit.

500 dollars would be a decent price if this a limited numbered edition of say 100 copies worldwide. Now we're supposed to cough the big buck and we don't even know how many will be made...
And the wooden box is not exactly eco-friendly. Cutting trees to sell CDs? Pfff...

i dont know what makes you look more like a freakin tool,the fact that you didnt get that i was being sarcastic or that you actually blamed the record company instead of the money grubber that put out a below average reggae record in a wooden box,signed his name to it and tried to charge some sucker $500 for it.

While we're busy calling each other douches and tools (great name for a chain of stores by the way), it might be worthwhile recalling that when speaking of the Stones, the artist owns the product and the record company is just a distributor. The same goes for WINGLESS ANGELS which Keith owns outright.

Signed deluxe edition is a ridiculous $500.00. Overpriced rip-off, no thanks.

o.k i'll play-lets assume you're correct and i'm just not grasping what you're are saying .
but i have one request,at least allow for the outside chance that the stones and their members may just be slightly unique in the recording industry here in 2010.
sooo lets leave all other recording artists out of it and you explain to me the interworkings of the record company,the people who run it,the contract signed etc in regards to keiths raggae record.
words like "highly unlikely" and "possibly" sound an awful lot like someone talking out of their ass.so just give me all the background on mindless records or whoever released this moneygrab ,who owns it etc and we'll take it from there.
