re-issues

I don't know what's the deal with Odyssey, but I was in their Megamall branch last Friday and I saw a couple of re-issues that made my eyes pop in disbelief. To wit:

* Skid Row's Skid Row
* Skid Row's Slave to the Grind
* Van Halen's The Best of Both Worlds (2-CD set)
* Black Crowes' The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion

I also saw Mastodon's Blood Mountain, which I, though not a big fan of the band, am also itching to score since it's not everyday a legit metal album finds its way to our shores.

Anyway, kudos to Odyssey - or to whoever brought them here - for these releases. (I'm not sure if they're available in other stores.) Now I've something to road-test my new spanking Citibank credit card with.
