    Does Amazon normally carry both standard and deluxe versions of releases? I know they sell everything under the sun, but I haven't noticed before if they carry multiple versions of the same release.

    After adding the 10c version to my cart and going through to checkout, it would have saved me a twonie as opposed to ordering the same deluxe version from Germany. 
    I’ll stick with the order I already made.

    EDIT - for non-Canucks, a twonie is $2

    Compared to Amazon US, the deluxe will cost almost $40 more.  For a book.

    Crazy. I’m not purchasing anything from Amazon any longer due to their deplorable working standards (I’m a workplace health and safety consultant). The last item I bought through Amazon was the Ornette Coleman boxset and it was a positive experience from a consumer perspective, but there is too much wrong with the business model for me. 
     I am aware there are probably concerns along the entire supply chain in the production of a record. I am also aware of how many goods are produced in China, and they care less about workers. I really only buy records (besides food and personal care products) so I will make my choice there. 

    I’ll pay a little extra to get my vinyl from a far more reputable distributor and prefer to use local retailers when possible. 

    Having said that, a $40 price difference is hard to argue with.  All of this is pushing me towards a minimalist existence.

    I love Amazon's business model and have been a heavy investor for years.  In my opinion,  the work conditions are fine and everything I've read in the Times and everywhere else are both anecdotal and one off. There is a distinction between a bad manager and a bad company culture.  When you have the number of people they do,  you will always have some percentage that is unhappy or has an as to grind, along with idiotic line managers.   I don't see them as modern day 19th century factories. 
    They also voted to split 20-1 yesterday,  which makes me even more pleased with them.

    It’s a free country (seemingly). You are entitled to your opinion. I don’t think of the world solely as an investor.  If the culture exists at all, it is wrong. 

    Occupational Health and Safety Legislation in the province I live ensures the psychological safety of workers. There are very specific requirements employers must have in place to ensure the situations you are talking about (rogue managers, poor culture within specific divisions or geographic locations, unreasonable workplace demands, pressures) does not exist. 

    There is a fine line between ensuring customers are happy (at all cost) and workers are treated with respect and dignity. Having worked for many large multi-national corporations in my current role, I can tell you worker rights are less valued in American companies. The constant pressure to deliver results to investors outweigh the concerns of other key stakeholders, including workers. 

    I believe there are four levels of corporate culture. What the executive and BOD would like to believe exists, what middle management has created based on corporate objectives,  what the workers relay to middle management through surveys, meetings, etc.
    Then there is the real corporate culture that exists, which is usually a far cry
    from what the executive and BOD want in place. 

    It’s one thing in business that is almost impossible to measure. With a little professional knowledge provided by peers, I am convinced this is not a culture I can support. 

    This is all from my own observations. I don’t read or listen to any of these “corporate culture gurus” although the Culture Code by Daniel Coyle is a good read.

    Didn't some deluxe version of the CD come with the hardcover tab book. 

    And the vinyl had a shorter tab booklet included?

    Or am I misremembering?
    You are correct! The deluxe CD had a hardcover songbook with tabs and the original vinyl had a soft cover one, both out of print. This new version does not appear to have a songbook tab.

    I agree with everything you say, specifically how an executive's vision can break down in practice.  I'm an executive at a mid size (less than a billion in top line) financial services company.  And yes, it can be frustrating to put your vision to execution.  But that's not unique to Amazon as you well know.  

    You're also correct in how the American business culture varies from other countries, like Canada.  Since my business is neither occupational safety (like yours) or Transportation and Warehousing (Amazon, the risky side) I'm not trying to change the American culture in this regards.  I recall doing a little research back when Amazon was really under fire and their rate of serious accident was actually below the average rate of others in transportation and warehouse.  Now you'd probably argue that the average isn't good enough.  And maybe you're right.  But I also don't necessarily agree that it makes Amazon a deplorable company.

    You call out one of the great ironies in the way we view businesses.  Amazon gets all of this political pressure because they are a mammoth company, with an extraordinarily wealthy founder.  But it's really a business made up of middle class people going to work every day.  The irony is that BOD and senior executives try to put in a culture of safety, as you say, but then it breaks down.  But it breaks down at the middle management level.  It's the average Joe-manager that tends to fuck it up.

    Too bad they didn't reissue the songbook too this year.
