I thought there might be some artistic reason for this too but it's a
lot more practical than that- you can only really use the plates of a
record about 5 times and each set of plates is worth about 3000-5000
records. After that the plates have to be thrown away and the record
remastered and recut from scratch- there are some instances in the UR
(and other labels') back cat where the original masters are no longer
available or people simply don't have the time to think about a record
that might be 10 years old when you have a whole bunch of new releases
coming out.
All I can say is that in this particular case (and a whole load of the
other currently unavailable SUbmerge back cat) is that you won't have
too long to wait before you get what you wish- BIG repress being
planned right now.

PS One other reason why a record might be out of press is as a mark of
respect to the artist- Drexiya RIP.

(IMO) the most amazing slice of techno that Mike Banks has ever

keep just that one record a little bit special by not repressing? Who
knows.
Regardless of the reasons I still urge you to beg, borrow or steal a
copy
from somewhere as I personally couldn't imagine life with out it!

Subject: (313) Underground Resistance - World 2 World
I've been buying records for a few years now (since 1997), but I still
don't have the World 2 World ep. Is it the only record on Underground
Resistance that hasn't been repressed? And does anyone know why?
'Cause it's
a shame I can't get a hold on this one.
Thanx in advance.
