I guess that could be impressive to some people.

Perhaps I'm bring a greedy fan but being used to artists releasing more than 1 album per year as had been the case in the 70's, I guess 38 "albums" in 40 years is still below average output. The crux of this seems to be that we keep being told they (particularly Stevie) have "so many songs" and I'm sure many fans would be quite happy if they just recorded these live in the studio and released them as is but due to some self appointed perfectionism, this is why we must wait, and wait...and wait I guess. It is them that have decided that recordings of that nature would not be acceptable to the fans, don't know why.

I'm not at all impressed, but then again, I work for somebody who is dangerously close to releasing his 100th album in a nearly 30 year timeframe
