Right now, there's nothing much of interest to die-hards -- I added more album tracks so I'm not just preaching to the converted, and I'm keeping rarities like the GT Xmas tapes up on a semipermanent basis.

This is a real gem, and we've sold out of several batches, so we're happy we were able to score some more copies.
