all i really know is that cdbaby sell both "repulsine ep" and, i think,
"showcase".
every once in a while  they dont have repulsine ep, then they re-stock. i
have no idea really.  i dont expect any funds coming in for either record
anymore, but i do hope cdbaby are payin slskrecds & merck something or
other.
