That is ...

1. A CD for convenience,
2. Two records pressed of decent weight material with the full playing
length of the CD
3. A subscriber tracked high resolution download.

Don't think it's *that* inflated, but a limited market for them that
have a real interest in enjoying things of higher fidelity to the
general masses acceptable output of CD.

I have Pink Floyd DSOTM in various formats now, including the 5.1
surround SACD. Prefer the 70's vinyl, I don't have access to the
hallucinogenics to do full justice to the SACD release.
