Let's see, I have all five albums, don't need them in 24k gold. I've had that Brixton concert for years already, have all their videos and don't need new or "reinterpreted" artwork from the guys who did the mediocre artwork on the original albums. And possible bonus tracks?
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts
