Yeah, it's kind of weird, that collector mentality pisses me off. At Estrus we spend a lot of time trying to fuck with collectors' heads. We do things that are designed to break the hearts of collectors.

Well, for instance, there's a Galaxy Trio record, a 10-inch. Not that they have a big collector's market around that band, but we put a sticker on the cover, and you know, a lot of collectors can't stand stickers, you know, because it covers up part of the cover. We used a super-adhesive material, so you can't peel it off without ripping off the cover. So the cover doesn't exist without the sticker, and there's two versions of the sticker. So completists will want two versions, and they'll constantly be seeking that un-stickered version, which only exists in about ten copies, that are samples we got before the print job.
