My friends at Amazon delivered today the Deluxe Edition of Elton John's Tumbleweed Connection--indisputably a terrific album. The original release has been thoroughly remastered and this edition includes an additional CD of demos, unreleased tracks, and live recordings. The problem is that this must be at least the third time this particular album has been re-released on CD, each time in a "better" version. Seems like what George Lucas does with his Star Wars films: keep re-selling the same thing in different formats by just adding a few bells and whistles and declaring it an "ultimate" edition.
