The CD is from 1993, limited to 1500 copies. B1209, Various: Prelude Pt1 was originally released as a limited edition cassette (400 copies) and later released on CD (500 copies) due to high demand. Both of the above seem to be extremely hard to find, but I concur with Lance, they are really worth the money. But of course, the best tracks are still on the early B12 vinyl releases, like B1202, a 2001 12" and B1203, As One:Future/Past:Zee# 12". B1201 (with the omission of Fear of Expression) and B1206 (with the omission of Boundries) were released on WARPLP/CD9, Electro-Soma with some additional tracks. The second B12 album on WARP, Time Tourist, featured tracks from B1214.1 (Redcell: Infinite Lites), B1210 (Cmetric: DB5), B1209 (Cektion)... Ah. The joys of research. -- diversion : nuutti-iivari meriläinen : gordon at diversion dot org communications : http colon slash slash www dot diversion dot org slash
