I understand your point, but I think you missed mine a bit (albeit just a little bit). The reason I would invest in Lego Feet 12"s would be because I would make money, plain and simple. Ignore for a moment whether it's actually good, whether I actually want to support this music, etc. It just seems to me that if Skam wants to make money (so as to be able to press NEW 12"s) rereleasing something that is in such high demand as the Lego Feet 12" would be a pretty easy way to get a quick few hundred bucks (granted, not much, but every little bit counts). I personally would be much more prone to pressing vvm material than lego feet 12"s, but not as many people would pay for a v/vm 12" as a lego feet 12". --- the humble abbott arthur purvis set his hand hereto
