Ed seems like a super nice guy and makes me want to support the artists even more. This record definitely deserves to make them lots of money.
One thing though, I was thinking how, despite the recent re-emergence of vinyl appreciation, most people listen to music in a digital form, on their computers or ipods, am I right? So as someone else mentioned, why not release it digitally if the mastering has been done so people can get a chance to show their support and appreciation?

Also, about the quality of leak, I’m not sure what you people are listening to or if that’s just some sort of anti-piracy propaganda, but my copy sounds pretty good…even on high volume… And I’m pretty sure I can still tell a quality download from a crappy one…:\
