Very exciting. I had only a short exposure to the previous set I once called Guthy Renker to buy some, but their sales script the agent was reading was just SO pushy, obnoxious and relentless (no matter how many times you said NO they had something else to try to sell you) that I hung up in disgust and didn't order ANY! (found five volumes in a used bin at Amoeba years ago then had to sell them in a lean period). Almost anybody here could have more knowledge about the previously released sets than I, so...
Who knows exactly which, or how many episodes, were the maximum ever released in the previous two versions? I thought I may have heard somewhere there were about 31 or so volumes of 2 each.
I have a hunch these are the same 60 or so episodes that were being circulated before. I remember reading some speculation that we likely will never see ALL the episodes again, due to huge music rights fees, something about ownership or who produced which seasons, and which periods Carol liked best and least.
Although I suppose I should start saving now for the 20 discs. Why no BluRayl I wonder? Are they using old analog masters? I also wonder if reuse fees are the same for simply rebroadcasting them, like on cable or streaming services...
PS, Carol's fansite mentions the two CBS Julie And Carol specials are being released together, but alas, only on CD.
