In the case of the Mask material, if all said be true, in an
interview @ the place previously referred to as 4th World (dammit,
got to change all them darn links =) its laid out as the Mask records
were pretty much limited to what they are because they were only
doing up what they thought would be of interest and basically for
themselves. Personally, if I did up 12"s of my own stuff and some
friends, I'd do the same (of course, there WOULDN'T be interest
beyond just us, but that completely beside the point =)
