God Help the Girl Subscription with Bonus EP + lots of digital goodies

Why?? WHY?? WHY??? Why must everything be coming out at once and costing a fortune?? I am a huge Belle & Sebastian fan and had been keeping tabs on Stuart's new project for many months now. Finally, concrete news comes out with release dates, tracklists, all that good stuff, and I find out that there's a subscription-level to God Help the Girl as well?? Yes kids, for $47 special edition CD subscription or $59 LP subscription, you will get:

Physical

  • 11th May: 7" 'Come Monday Night' single
  • 22nd June: LTD CD or LP God Help The Girl album
  • 20th July: 7" 'Funny Little Frog' single
  • By Xmas: 10" 5 track exclusive EP

Digital

  • A full album stream on purchase
  • MP3s of the Album & 7" on release
  • The 'Come Monday Night' video
  • 4 x episodes documenting the 'Making of'
  • The 'Funny Little Frog' video
I am really going to have to start scaling back bands for which I consider myself a completist. Sigur Ros normally cleans me out... now Belle & Sebastian are eying my wallet. I understand that labels are trying to get creative so that people buy the physical releases, but not everything has to hit the $50 mark to be special. It's that 10" that is just making me feel reallll antsy.
