• Corey Glover’s cult of personality is that strong. • This fan of the band is going to any length it can to avoid that “Should I Stay Or Should I Go?” cover that was tacked on to the reissue. • Buyer is opening a store that’s a throwback to the late ’80s and is looking for every “realistic” detail he can find, down to the ecologically unfriendly longboxes that protected CDs from fingerprints. • Lou Pearlman’s estate is doing everything it can to creatively “hide” its assets. • A misplaced decimal point? A curious need for the color palette near the bottom of the album art? The longbox bubble is the new housing bubble? The mind reels.
