<< That's not entirely true. Only the KMAS series (Bola "Aguila" and BoC
"Aquarius" are limited to 500, under 1000). Both Gescom 1 and 2 were each
repressed in those flimsy-ass sleeves, I remember Stu @ 4th World selling
these represses, there have to be well over 1000 of these. The Freeform EP
was likewise repressed, as it is also available in two different sleeves.
The same goes for "Hi Scores," which has already been repressed (both
Hedonizm and Piccadilly had additional copies of this in 97 and 98), the
insert in the repress is of lower quality than the first pressing. There
are well over 1000 of these. Aside from Lego Feet, of the SKAM releases,
the Jega and Bola 12"s have to be the hardest to come by. I don't believe
either of these was ever repressed.

I remember hearing the original runs of 2-6 were in editions of 1000.
Then there were represses of 2 and 3 (didn't know about 4) in lower quality
version of a few thousand. 7-13 were probably originally done in 2000-4000
runs and somebody was saying the BoC repress is 8000 copies. Not a big fan of
the lower quality reissue jive: I keep the originals anyway, but doesn't it
defeat the purpose for those who don't have them? I mean yeah, obviously I'd
rather play and beat up a repress, but who wants uglier labels and inserts?
Also the non-represses of 5 and 6 would explain why they are so scarce -
haven't seen the Jega 12" up for offers in a long long time. I've played it
so much I can probably listen to it in my head at this point, maybe they can
repress one so I stop beating it up.
