Are we going to fall for the Brandeis marketing trick?

I see on all kinds of sites (see e.g. http://www.bobdylanisis.com/contents/en-uk/d2.html) warnings like: “This item, which includes the Brandeis cd, is very limited and you are advised to order early to avoid disappointment.” Combined with the news on DylanExaminer: “Bob Dylan’s ‘Original Mono Recordings’ on vinyl delayed until December”. My goodness: we are being tricked into buying eight mono Bob Dylans albums on CD that we (at least I and probably you as well) have already on vinyl, CD and some of them remastered CD? And all this to hear seven songs (one incomplete) we have already (in different versions from different concerts) on several bootlegs? Are we that stupid? Probably we are.
