20th Anniversary Multiple Editions of The Stone Roses Self Titled Album

Okay, so I admit I am an idiot for buying albums in multiple formats. I know I amount to a human cash machine. I know this is the record company squeezing every last ounce of money (and dignity) from me, but it's hard not to be excited about this announcement. September 8 four expanded editions of The Stone Roses eponymous album will be released. And this time they've all but provided the lube for us. I have a huge record geek boner right now. This album is fantastic and if you don't own it - please do yourself a favor and indulge.
