By the time I saw Mask 300 listed on some price sheets, it was ALREADY sold
out. 

In previous discussions about limited editions, the idea that groups put out
ltds. for financial reasons was heavily totted. However, if you put a few
hundred records and it becomes obvious that 1000 people want 'em, it seems
everybody loses out (except the geezers who were quick enough to hit the
"reply" button on the pre-order mailer). It is especially annoying since a
large number of folks said that Mask 400 sucked (the largest quantity in the
series). I'll be glad to see the end of MASK. Of course, there is probably a
limited SKAM yo-yo/3" CD package in production right now. :=(
