The implicit assumption here is that when people talk about anniversaries, they mean "important" anniversaries, whatever that means, usually a multiple of 10 years, or at least 5 years.

So, yes, what TrivialPursuit listed, plus Batman, Musicology, The Chocolate Invasion, The Slaughterhouse, and C-Note.

And don’t forget it is the 10 year anniversaries for both “Art Official Age” and “Plectrum Electrum”, so why not a super deluxe of each…highly unlikely!

I would absuloutely love a collection of stuff that he was working on later in his career.

.

an anniversary is a annual marking of time. happens yearly. an "important" annivesary is an imaginary idea that 10 years is somehow more important than 11. assuming things get people nowhere. Using actual words to convey the meaning of something tends to make things clear.

I agree!

25th Anniversary of Rave is biggest deal but famz would rather commemomorate rando anniversaries.
