I found the list rather disappointing. Only interested in 2 items and 1 of them I know I won’t be able to afford.
the Fawlty Towers soundtrack?? how is that even a thought in someone’s head to re-release that? I can’t imagine there’s going to be a lot of demand for that one. I’ve watched the shows dozens of times and love it, but I wouldn’t dream of getting the soundtrack. I assume it’s just the theme song?
I on the other hand found a number of wants on the list. Also David Bowie will have a couple of releases just announced on his social media pages.
