Record collecting,much like time,is cyclical. I remember the soft bulletin being in stores. Then I got the remastered variant boxset with it in it. Then there was that 180g anniversary reissue of it that could be had in most stores for years. But it’s been years now, and a lot of people only starting collecting in like the last 4 years and they didn’t see the soft bulletin.

And well, time makes fools of us all.

I'm usually not, but occasionally I find it a necessity.

Two examples:

1. I own an original of the Sparks LP No. 1 In Heaven, but ended up buying a reissue to play because my original is almost unlistenably sibilant
2. I own an original of Robert Pollard's Not In My Airforce, but bought the reissue for two reasons: a) retire my original copy, and b) the reissue follows the tracklisting that Pollard originally intended for release.

In this case, if you already own Abbey Road, of which there is no shortage of copies, then I get why you might pass.
I personally am waiting for the day when there is a reissue of Low's I Could Live In Hope because it's terribly out of print, very expensive to acquire even second-hand, and I'm curious to see what another issuing would improve upon (if it does).

That new Number 1 In Heaven is nice. I had 3 copies, kept my OG and the newest reissue and the other I PIFed last week.
