I wasn't reluctant about it. I've had so many fans online and at shows ask for my old material that I was surprised. So when I had the chance to release my back catalog on iTunes it was really for the fans. I'm still surprised when a fan comes up to me and ask about F. O. O. D. I want to please those fans that have enjoyed my previous albums and I also want to be able to see the progression of my music for posterity sake.
