Wish they'd release physical copies of these albums. 

I'm grateful we even have these at all

Both of these are very true statements!

I'm surprised that there isn't an MOD (Manufacture On Demand) type of program for these, where people could order discs online to be burned and shipped (in packaging) to them directly. Admittedly it's gonna be a small market for physical product, but there ARE people who'd buy em! It's geezers who would be interested, and let's face it, this band does have a geezer fan contingent!

Warner Bros. does an MOD type of arrangement for all sorts of deep cut catalog movies, where DVDs are burned and sent via snail mail to people who order them; this way, there's no overstock or unsold discs sitting in warehouses or bargain bins.

The BBs should get on this! It seems like the most logical compromise for this issue.

That said... I'm certain there'd be a good chunk of hipsters who'd happily throw money at vinyl releases of these sets too. Seriously, the market is there! I truly believe it.
