My reading of why those numbers are still available is that they were repressed a few months ago due to - as you noticed - very strong demand. The same has yet to be done with the other issues.
The LP was pressed in unusually large volume (compared to other releases in our favourite genres) again, on anticipated strong demand hence, it's still available - plus it also contains some tracks which are already released (others will tell you which exactly). Also check Balihu if you're up for a Metro Area education. I picked up Balihu 012 Daniel Wang - "Deutsch-Chinesische Hemmungslosigkeit EP" (12") at the weekend - found by chance in Spain! (I don't think it's that hard to find). It's not a bad starting point. k >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Monday, October 28, 2002 4:06 PM >To: 313@hyperreal.org >Subject: (313) What are the essential Metro Area releases?? > > > > > >************************************************************************** >Entertainment UK Limited >Registered Office: 243 Blyth Road, Hayes, Middlesex UB3 1DN. >Registered in England Numbered 409775 > >This e-mail is only intended for the person(s) to whom it is >addressed and may contain confidential information.
