How much bonus is the bonus?

As I've mentioned before, I like bonus tracks on reissued CDs.

The thing is - the bar has been set pretty high by some rereleases. Take the UK First Light series of the first two ELO albums. Each came on a double disc, with scads of great bonus stuff. There are a lot of packed Elvis Costello discs too.

So it bums me out when a reissue comes out with very little bonus stuff - particularly if we the fans know that stuff exists that would fit nicely on there.

I'll write more about this in the coming days.
