umm yeah that really ticks me off, i sometimes just wait untill the *special edition* album comes out b4 i spend my money on it now-a-days. most of the stuff im into is old school tho so it may be new to me but really its from the 80s. the 80s had really good music.

i f ive already bought the first one without the bonus tracks then why would i go out and buy another just for 5 songs and the probability of it being more expensive is very high aswell

But it is a bit of a poor show by them ... I see it as another money spinner for them : ((

I don't know of anyone I listen to or like....that has done that.

So it really wouldn't bother me.

However, I would imagine that if someone is doing that....then it's up to the person as to whether or not they want to trust that person enough to continue to listen to them...because to me....it would seem....IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY BABY! (GIGGLING)

If you're willing to put out to buy it no matter what they do.......then why complain?

Depends on how much I like the extra tracks. If they happened to be the best tracks, then I'd be pretty upset...

Lots of companies do this -- sell something then try to upsell you on an enhanced version later. This won't work after a while because fewer people will buy the initial release while the others will wait for an expected enhanced release.

I like all of the tracks on one CD so I don't feel like I'm not environmentally friendly.

They are just trying to capitolize their album sales. Very disappointing to loyal fans who spend hard-earned money to support them, then feel duped when the "new" album comes out.

Years ago, AC/DC would put out an album, and the next album would have several of the same songs on it...it hurt their career, in my view.....give the fans good stuff, don't cheat them is all I say....
