I think the lister in question was American. Have these releases been
delayed over there?

I'm pretty happy with the Face Dances remaster. 3 Studio tracks and 2
live tracks isn't so bad. The liners are basic but adequate. For the money,
I'd judge it good value.
It's Hard is another matter. 4 live tracks from Toronto, what a surprise!
Very disappointing when we consider the number of avaliable tracks
proposed. The liners are pathetic, I hate those photocopied photos.
Still, money talks. It's obvious that these albums would not sell at full
price without some fantastic extra tracks, so we get a budget album with
the live tracks already prepared.
However, I picked up both CDs for 15.81 Pounds the pair.
I call *that* a bargain!
