However so long as there is extra milage to be had out of a print, so long as there are more extras to be had, eventually any release will sooner or later be trumped.
As for 88, again I doubt very much that they are weeping or nashing teeth or having sleepless nights. Nor do I believe Calum Waddell is foaming at the mouth and head spinning because someone put out a better release. They already made their money, the release has been out quite a while and was crowd funded. Besides, at £8.99 in HMV I doubt very many punters give that much of a shit either.
That sort of thinking is for some of the darker areas of Facebook. Places where people spend their days attacking 'mindless drones' who purchase Arrow/88 releases while at the same time dedicating the same level of energy as a the 'label fanboys' into how much they hate those labels while lacking the self awareness to realise how equally insane it is...
