I am guessing here but perhaps the policy Tower has in its store is
different from the policy at its Web Sites.  However, I have noticed that
Amazon does not seem to have any of the recent Phillips '50' recordings.
Since Tower has cut a deal with Universal, might Universal be putting the
squeeze on competitors (ie.  cuttting Amazon out of the picture?).  Just a
thought, maybe Amazon is just slow at getting new material posted to their
sites.
