Not quite Dave but I agree the thread has been extended far too widely - it was specifically about the proliferation of look-a-like re-issues done legally - I simply don't understand the necessity to replicate the look of the original 45 and the potential issues that may arise by reputable companies hence my surprise at the Secret Stach bonus 45 in this case. Absolutely nothing to do with value.
Kegsy seemed to miss the point of the original post, or maybe it wasn't clear enough, and turn it in to a hugely diverse discussion of bootlegs, re-issues in general, profiteering, duty to the artist, duty to the public, the work of companies bringing new and unissued material etc ad infinitum. Inevitably, everybody has picked up on there specific gripe area and run with it..
