Beyond the fact that it’s a pretty funny show, there are a couple of reasons for this. One of which is that they were smart enough to release the Season 3 DVD early enough so that people could be totally caught up for the Season 4 premiere. The other is that HBO — hey, whatever happened to HBO? - EMI/Capitol Reissues Albums On Vinyl
Vinyl versions of long tail classics such as "Band on the Run" and "Pet Sounds" will be reissued for up to a pop. One one hand, that might seem outrageously expensive for records that are 35 – 45 years old and have never ever been out of print, but look at it from this standpoint: had vinyl been the primary format all of this time, these are exactly the prices that EMI/Capitol would be charging for these records.
