    I still cant understand why the record companies have added different tracks to the later CD releases of this album - to me, they dont fit in with the original tracklisting of the vinyl release. This is an album that I prefer the vinyl version (WHICH, AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW, IS UNUSUAL FOR ME AS I AM A PERSON WHO PREFERS LISTENING TO CD's).

    I did not know the tracklisting is different on the CDs, all my albums are vinyl - so you wouldn't say adding the CDs is worth the bother then?
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
    Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:
    Echo Dot, Amptastic Mini One,Arcam A75 integrated, Celestion 5's, BK XLS-200 DF

    A/V:
    LG 55" OLED, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL Storm sub

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

    THE TRACKLISTING IS DIFFERENT ON THE CD's COMPARED TO THE VINYL;

    From Discogs - the later Fueler Edtn of the CD:-
    https://www.discogs.com/release/6765...Shuttered-Room

    From Discogs - the original vinyl version:-
    https://www.discogs.com/master/70192...Shuttered-Room

    From Discogs - the later Repertoire Edtn of the CD:-
    https://www.discogs.com/release/1020...Shuttered-Room

    Their are lots of different releases on CD by different companies; they all seem to have variations in tracks etc. I would go for the original release of the MCA CD if you could get it or one that closely replicates the original tracklisting. You, like me, might like to obtain the CD but, you probably won't bother when you see the price people are asking for it - it's totally ridiculous!!!!! I PROBABLY WOULDN'T BOTHER, JUST STICK TO YOUR VINYL LIKE ME (UNLESS YOU CAN GET THE CD AT A SENSIBLE PRICE) !!

    Just a suggestion, you could do what I did and that is, record your vinyl onto a CD; mine came out superb. I can play either now!! It's better than paying absolutely insane prices for a CD that cost approx £10-12 and now paying THE STUPID GREEDY B45T4RD5 ON EBAY upto anything like this:-

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186363470...Bk9SR5iFjNHZYw

    OR THIS,

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325990379...Bk9SR5KFjNHZYw

    OR THIS,

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186259374...Bk9SR5iFjNHZYw

    THEY ALL MUST THINK THE BRITS ARE AS THICK AS SHIT

    THEN THERE'S THE POSTAGE COSTS TO ADD ON TOP OF THE PRICE OF THE CD ITSELF

    TALK ABOUT PATHETIC................... I'M LOST FOR WORDS................... AND THAT'S SAYING SOMETHING!!!!

    SORRY FOR THE RANT BUT THIS KIND OF GREED AND EXPLOITATION MAKES ME SICK!!!!!!

    well if they are rare and they can get the price they are asking...the market decides.

    I have some rare vinyl, if I do ever sell it, it won't be cheap.

    Trouble is, it isn't exactly rare; there's plenty of re-releases by about 6/7 companies. I put it down to just stupid greed..... simple as that!!!!

    Here's another example of SHEER GREED ON EBAY :-

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394641953...Bk9SR_yNm-PZYw

    This album is just an everyday release, nothing rare about it and they're asking £124 and oh, I nearly forgot, 68p and incredibly, they've offered free post; that was decent of them wasn't it!!

    I thought that must be from the '70s by the cover but it's 2008!
