I am sitting here having a Tadcaster Porter myself. mmmmmmmmmm good! :kickass:

I sure like my Special Limited Edition 'My Arms, Your Hearse' CD/DVD
that I picked up from the "First Of April" record store.
It is hard to believe such great Video quality/Sound quality can come
from such an early recording.

Nice, although a little premature...

Everything is original UK issue, mostly bought on day of release.

Hence not having a clue about the 2 exclusive tracks.

Hence the comment, "Nice" which was intended to show my appreciation of said joke... along with "a little premature" which referred to the date of posting (not to you). I thought that was fairly clear.

I always find jokes better when you don't explain them, nor laugh at them loudly yourself.
 
Im guessing the label put bonus tracks on there to get people who had the originals to buy the reissues. Ive got all 3 reissues of the first albums, not the orignals. I dont see anything bad about owning all the songs they recorded :)

But yeh, they are there to suck money out of obsessed fans who buy everything that is released, is my guess.
