The implied downside is that any OOP titles, which can't be expanded, won't be re-issued. Then again, maybe they'll relinquish any perpetual rights and allow another label that option. They could also just reissue something without the Encore branding.

If I’m not mistaken Encores have all been titles previously released on CD. The LP to CD titles weren’t branded that way, and although given its own separate jewel case rather than the earlier monthly LP to CD titles in sleeves, that was still an LP to CD premiere. Yavar

for the people in Europe: where do you order these cds to avoid custom problems??? (which eliminates Varese's own site, unfortunately) My post from another topic, but it's still relevant. For those, like me, not in the USA there are some tricks that may work. As stated order from Amazon & save the “broker fee” which I personally think is a giant cash grab con, but then what say do we have it the matter. Or make friends with a person in the USA, see if they want to have your delivery & have them put a new customs label on it for say “Used CDs value $1 Gift”. If your paying them with Pay Pal make sure you cover the PP fees or the person will be out of pocket on the re-mailing costs. No idea if internal mail in the USA & then onto you works out or not, but International Customs can only charge against the declared amount or against an invoice packed with the goods. So, make your USA contact happy & maybe that will help. Finally batch up your orders, the “broker fee” can only be charged once, so although you have tax on the entire package, the fee is only charged once. I.E. a $200 order to the UK has 20% + 8 (UK pounds) but so does a $19.99 order have 20% + 8 (UK pounds). Makes sense to have a larger order & one “broker fee”. I do option three with blu rays from Australia, wait for a large batch & then a 1 off fee + Canadian duties, if it is not on Amazon Canada & I buy from say Amazon USA or UK or Germany, I pay the duty but no “broker fee” & so saves $18 Canadian dollars (fee + tax). Folks taxes are here to stay & it’s no fault of SAE or Varese or any label, it’s down to your individual governments & mail companies, Canada Post grab every penny they can & I am sure Royal Mail do as well. Fact of life. Enjoy your music despite the taxes" Regards Andy b
