Interestingly, the schedule page has pictures of this first batch, and the
picture of AB3 shows the original RePHLeX packaging ... wonder if Sony will
try and emulate it?

It also has a track listing if you click on the AB3 picture:

 2. .1993841
 3. .0180871R *
 4. .942937

 7. .55278037732581

10. (AFX 6/b)

Uh oh, if this is on Sony it might actually get released!  :-)

I never got any leads when I asked on 313 how to get ahold of this Sony stuff
(Specifically, I asked about how to get the Jeff Mills/Axis "Another Day"
Axis label comp., because the Sony Japan version has 3 extra tracks).  Any
IDM'ers (James @ Oracle?) know of any ways to get these Japanese pressings?

(Looks like Mr. Maddog is getting rid of his stuff just in time before these
 re-releases drags their value down, haha)

np: Luke Slater "Freek Funk" (yet again)
