    I'm kind of confused here.

    In 2003, NowAgain and parent label Stones Throw released three Stark Reality albums:
    . *Hoagy Carmichael's Music Shop
    . *1969 (since reissued as Roller Coaster Ride).
    . *Now

    Now seems to just be a compilation of material from those other two releases plus the track "Say Brother."

    So what exactly is the purpose of this album? Does it offer anything different, or is it just about charging you $20+ for one bonus track? Or are the tracks featured here alternate recordings? Notes say tracks 9-11 are previously unreleased, but the track timings seem nearly identical to 1969.
