Why did "Skydog: The Duane Allman Retrospective" get such limited release?

The subject says the basics. Anthologies 1 and 2 are still in print at reasonable prices; Amazon and eBay lists Skydog: The Duane... at ridiculous prices as highly collectible items. This is hardly the way to add to Duane's legacy. Grrr! 😡

"Anthologies 1 and 2 are still in print at reasonable prices"---they came out in1972 and 1974, by which time the commodification of music became big bucks. I suspect it has been decades since the originals were printed. However, I bought two of the limited release of "Skydog". I sensed it would be big bucks too, and I am now in retirement! 😮

I don't know, but I am sure glad I got my copy when it first came out years ago

What other musician, who had such a short life, had so much music in him/her as to have a box set to encompass all of it

after 52 years, nothing has changed - Duane is known as one of the great players & most prolific brilliance of anyone who picked up a guitar - & will be as long as it’s played
