Za Bakdaz
Za Bakdaz: The Unfinished Opera is a collection of songs German countertenor Klaus Nomi was working on up until his death in 1983. The album was released posthumously in 2007. The large majority of the tracks have never before been heard on an official studio release; the original sessions took place from 1979 to 1983, with the tracks completed between 1984 and 2006 at the home studio of Page Wood and George Elliott. Some of those involved with the project have said that the album was nowhere near completed at the time of Klaus' passing.

gollark: If you force the price to be fixed low, you just get a shortage where the quantity actually sold is below the quantity demanded.
gollark: No, markets in the economicsy sense.
gollark: Limiting purchase numbers seems like a bad hack to prevent the market from working properly but at least make some people vaguely happy since they're paying the normal price.
gollark: … also, what if someone wants to buy an entire set of computer parts in order to, say, build a computer?
gollark: That's not very libertarian of you.
