I care because the 99% of the population who does not have the BBC stuff
in bootleg form can now easily go to their local record store and buy
the brand new official Zep BBC set (well everybody can get it at their
local store except for us here in North America).

I look forward to hearing peoples reactions to hearing this for the
first time.  

Also, I don't know how the record charts actually work but does
releasing a record/cd at different times through out the world effect
the way it charts?  If it was released everywhere at the same time would
it chart higher?  By having scattered release dates does it decrease the
Zeps chances of having a number one album?  Maybe this is just the way
it is done.  Anybody?
