You know, I think that its great that they released them... oh wait,
that should read ABOUT TIME. If warp so badly didn't want it distributed
otherwise they should have released it much sooner. and if they weren't
able to or allowed to then why not distribute taped copies. Either way,
if the artwork was a reflection of an attitude, think its rather poor of 
them to take that. hope it wasn't, but rather simply a take on all those
copies that exist just like it already, just a keen idea :)   

I'm so glad they released them... they get to cash in and we get the 
music properly. Everyone is happy
