I second that emotion. I was lucky enough to get the VINTAGE vinyl repressing(the only copy in my shop), and I spent nearly 30 dollars in postage trying to flog a copy from uk shops since '92. Still worth it after all these years, and a good companion to ELECTRONIC HIGHWAY, which I bought at the same time. btw, does anyone know which LP's were repressed in the Vintage R&S series? I still want ORGANISED NOISE, and rs@macbel.be isn't being very cooperative with the info.

'Epique' on this ep is very beautiful and melodic, very much like KITCHEN-era Sun Electric, but the Designers Republic could've done much better! Derek
