World of Weird Al Yankovic

Well, on weirdal.com, yes. But then again, there is also pics, I believe, and they aren't on weirdal.com.

My guess is that PR wasn't selling anymore and also because it's getting pretty out of date. In just a few months, it'll have been four full albums since the boxed set. Maybe he'll release an updated boxed set at some point, but probably not anytime soon.

EDIT: BTW, why does "Peter and the Wolf" say that the album has JUST GONE OUT OF PRINT? It's been out of print for quite a while now.

Yeah, that makes sense. But it would be cool if he got to play in an upcoming episode, or from one in the past. Thanks Anth!

I was at the dentist office tonight and my Mom was reading AARP magazine and she saw an article on Larry King about his new book My Dad and Me and "Weird Al" is mentioned.

Oh, hey, it is! Too bad it's $48.

Out of print doesn't mean the stores don't have anymore. It just means they're no longer pressing the discs.

I'm kinda surprised the boxed set stayed in print as long as it did. It was even reissued by Volcano, which is a little rare for something originally advertised as somewhat of a limited edition.

I would certainly be willing to read a heartwarming story about Nick Yankovic. Besides the one about renting Al's bedroom to Ed McMahon, of course.

Maybe they just pressed the re-issued Volcano discs untill they ran out of the booklets? I got the Volcano re-issue a while back, and it had the same booklet as my original Scotti Bros. cassette release. The back of the booklet even says "Cassette 1, Cassette 2, etc." instead of "CD 1, CD 2, etc."

The art on the PR re-issue is really pixilated on the top of the box too, I noticed. Whoever re-set that for printing did a crappy job....
