The Apollo re-issue has been around for ages - if I remember correctly, it
came out something like 6 months after the Fax release, and has been
available (for most of the time) ever since. As far as I know, it's a
totally legit release, and not a very surprising one since R&S / Apollo is
(was?) Biosphere's label. Same thing happened with Plus8, who issued a
couple of tracks of Namlook & Hawtin's "From Within" on 12". It's all very
nice pressing 500 copies and all (no, not THAT discussion again), but I
think the many people who bought the Apollo version where a lot more happy
with being able to hear some music they liked than they would have been
with the knowledge of the existence of some unobtainable piece of
ultra-limited collectors-fodder.
