ok... i'll try sum my opinions and end my "contribution" to this thread.
Well Nic, i don't see the point of this "bonus'' stream. It is just a marketing stunt. If the band and label would truly be ineterested in releasing the actual thing, the stream would have not been. I'm pretty sure anybody in SY can make a difference between streamed 128 Kbps MP3 and CD and i'm pretty confident in Thurston's opinion regarding quality in music.
Remeber Shellac's 12'' with FREE bonus CD? Well, that was a bonus!
As we can understand from the preavious posts, many of the boarders are satisfied with the 128 stream, even if they paid for the CD/12''. Sad...
