So I'm trying to understand how this is working. Is the second 'Archive' release completely separate from the release that millions had already pre-ordered? I just assumed it was a surprise to people who received the vinyl and/or download that there would be twice as much music as expected. But...

Cool. As long as you can put them to good use because otherwise that's a lot of space not devoted to records/stereo gear.
