I'm pretty sure I've seen the one next to the Marc Bolan album and it's by some jazz guitarist, but the name escapes me.

so everyone doesn't have to go and search for the cover in a new tab:

so saw him on sunday night at the barbican, absolutely loved it - the sound was tremendousaltho the literature at the venue described him as "the Gatsby of the groovebox" which has the be one of the worst things i've ever read in my life

I'm sure that's appealing to completists, but 303 euros for a 303 track USB stick comp is ridiculous! Also, while I do understand it doesn't include the EP he made for Warp nor the second and third Gas albums, as those are available elsewhere, it's a bit ridiculous that it doesn't include the first Gas album either, which hasn't been reissued in its original form (the Nah und Fern version having replaced two of its tracks with new ones), nor the handful of Gas tracks that appeared on Mille Plateaux compilations, which AFAIK have never been reissued anywhere.
The Love Inc. album seems to be missing from the comp too, but that's not such a big deal, as it's mostly bland and boring.
Since I already have a lot of his '90s material, I do appreciate that they sell each of those '90s releases separately too, but why aren't they available as FLACs?!

I love the "noble casket" translation of jewellery box.
A quick scroll through the MP3 download pricing suggests that it would cost you close to (or perhaps exactly the same as) the USB stick to download the lot as lossy files. Huh.

Yeah, the prices for the USB and the invidual files are the same (1 euro per file for 303 tracks), but the files I guess are meant for people like me who already own a lot of this stuff and don't want to pay the ridiculous price for the whole package. If only they had them as FLACs I might actually buy a few of those.

Also, the files on the USB are AIFFs, do they even work outside Apple machines? I'm pretty sure my Sony player attached to the stereo wouldn't recognise them.

Most everything can play AIFF, I think. If I stuck that USB stick in my Marantz, it would play fine. What's your Sony player?

I just want the Mint stuff

Sonos likes AIFFs, but there is no way i am paying that much for this stuff.
Sony was always awkward as they refused to accept the MP3 format for a long time, you had to convert the files into their own propiety format before their digital music players would play anything.
