Playing Musical Big Chairs with Tears For Fears

The number of editions of Tears for Fears 'Songs for the Big Chair' continues to increase. 2006 saw the release of a deluxe edition. After a nice dinner and coffee with June at NYDC at the Heeren last night, I dropped by HMV and saw the new deluxe edition. Needless to say, I was astonished. I am tempted to get it just for the those two particular remixes of 'Everybody wants to rule the World' and 'Head over Heels'. However, I have already got the first three CDs here. Do I really need to another CD of 'Songs from the Big Chair'? Maybe, I can display them!

Is this exploitative or what? Is this clever merchandising?
