**^^////// the idea behind our machine series of records (currently 4 x 7") was manipulation and cross pollination which explains why 4 records and not 1 CD have been released. With regards to costs it would have been cheaper for us to supply one CD and we would probably sell more in this format. However the idea behind the releases would have been lost-----manipulating CD is a lot harder than manipulating VINYL at this present time ***** //// the machine records are not seen as finished works and should not be listened to as one would listen to a coventional record. These records have been produced for you to abuse, disect and mould together thus creating a set of your very own MACHINES-----**/// the prices that the components are being sold at is unfortunate--- but this is a situation we cannot help----- on UK shelves the records (when supplied directly from us to the shops) are being sold for 5 pounds (USA equivilent 8-9 dollars)--------of course the costs of sending the records oversees is where the additional 2 dollars comes into play---------*******/////////-----------------------/// one of the forthcoming machine component series*****will be made available as a FREE MP3 file//////////////////////////////////// ==== so everybody who wishes to learn the basic art of machine building will be able to do so---- of course there will also be MACHINE CD's**currently being developed** ----- in time everybody will one day be happy-------and prices will be low and VVM will be sold as special dicount items on 24hr shop-a-vision channels ---------------------///// *** Randy xxxx
