My God; NOT AGAIN!!!

All those waiting with salty but stale breaths for the September 9 releasing of the Beatles remaster hounds will not like what the PPC is about to learn them.
*
Not vouching for it, but we ARE hearing dirty, dirty little whispers that the forthcoming complete Fabs' recordings mono and stereo box sets are to be priced in the $275 range. (Of course, each!)
*
As many box-sets-try Neil Young's new CD collection with comparable totalling discs at $99 MSRP-give the poor music buyer a break, the Beatles, if they stick to the near three C-note retail, will be basically charging full-on for each of the supplied 13 CDs. About $22, each.
*
Written politely, this possibility SUCKS!
*
Hath not Apple/Rutle/EMI Corpses not gotten their fill already, with that totally retarded Help! DVD box that had a suggested tag of about $200???
*
Given that the Help! disaster now goes for about $50 new on e-bay, are the Beatle brainiacs trying to slay the Golden Goose once more?
*
Good God, wot wankers they all are.
*
Oh, we're pretty sure that some of the big-box retailers will try to give the poor enema'd Beatles fan at least a lubricated discount, but, even if the sets get down to around $200, that's still too much.
*
And given that within hours, most-nay, all-of the boxes contents will be up for gratis on the WWW, even the attending hot and heavy hype supplied by the media before the release may not pay off for the greedy bastards at Apple.
*
YES, these new releases are what we hardcore fans have bitched for for 22 years.
*
But, hell NO, we dont' want to get ripped off-again!!
*
Has Apple not noted that the world economy has melted down?
*
And that $275 music boxes-even BEATLE ones-will surely be a tough sell?
*
Sod them all.

As always, your comments are welcome.
