You've got a REAL good point there. Assuming this was planned and understood 
(possibly too large an assumption), they'd be crazy not to hype this as a 
brand new Verlaine-approved mix. Anyone who already has the CD would now feel 
that they need to get the (presumably) new and improved model.

My bet is definitely on ignorance on Collector's Choice part, and possibly 
further up the line.
