I agree with basically everything that has been said above. My 2 cents in addition to that: I think that WW, DW, et al are trying to strike a balance between the "seasoned" fans/collectors of horror and cult scores (a niche market which probably consists of the members/followers of this board and a couple of hundred more people around the globe) and people who have started collecting records/scores fairly recently and have a more "mainstream" taste. This has some good sides (choice, hopefully good business that can finance more niche titles) and some downsides (most of these labels are not active here anymore as they are busy catering to the needs of a larger buying group, risk of oversaturating the market/"hipsters" moving on to other things, ...). So I hope these labels will manage to strike this balance also in the long run, and I will do my part in supporting them by buying the niche titles that I am interested in (which for sure aren't future rerelease of JC scores they've done before).
