I'd love to propose download stores would provide customers with the option to create customised compilations at discount prices as they usually seem to do for compilations released by labels. I'd grab the old Vapour Recordings releases in one go . There are nice compilations, such as by Martin Cartledge/Weekend World, that I've noticed recently, but I regularly come across rather unappealing comps with some newer and older stuff put together.
(And while one might argue prices are generally low at the stores (?), the more I come across low-quality low-volume/mono tracks, the less eager I become to spend money on older releases.)
Just a random thought.
