Look on the bright side. All these variations mean we get even more chance to listen to our fave band's songs produced in another format, thus giving us more excellent music to listen to!

I don't care! When I listen to music I listen to music, I'm not bothered where the performer comes from or what label they've got on their jeans- that doesn't matter see.

Dear BEAT BOX, I've just bought the CD version of the new David Bowie greatest hits album and, frankly, I feel ripped-off! I've since discovered that both the vinyl and cassette formats, which both cost less than the CD version, actually contain three extra tracks. I wish the record industry would make its mind up. Does it want us to buy compact discs or not? GRANT FOSTER, Brentwood continues > Beat Box 540 Singles 543 Singles Albums Fanzine Buzz
