I've also owned the rarities/remixes, and only wanted this for four songs. Yet, the other tracks I did have were all "bootlegged" mp3s off of some blog some years back via the "Do This Well" compilation. So I did appreciate having "Kelo's Mix" in friggin hi-res haha.

I originally pre-ordered the digital hi-res album on Qobuz back in January. So, as soon as it hit my inbox the other day and I listened, I immediately said to myself "if i don't buy the 4LP set with them liner notes... I will REGRET it". So I shelled out $75 in addition to the $20 I bought on the album at the beginning of the year. Smh lmao... i never got the TFA deluxe and I'm kicking myself about that too.

I also wanted the live version of "Proceed" and the instrumental of "There's Something Going On". And just instrumentals in general. But maybe that'll come out for the 50th anniversary 🥲
