As some readers of this list may be aware, I have been trying for a number
of years to obtain garage kits from LoGH. I am wondering if these HK kits
are from ALBA, or if they are recast, er. bootlegs? Some of my emissaries
sent to Japan with pictures of the ships report, sadly, that they are too
old and have been out of stock for some time :( Perhaps HK holds
salvation for my dream of one day having a Spartanian or the Hyperion!
Is there any way for you to help me fulfill this dream? Please? Since most
things in the USA are made in HK, I don't know if I have anything to offer
in trade but US$.

Besides the # of tracks method, there is another feature which sometimes
can be useful in avoiding "drama" CDs. The thick, paper insert which is
wrapped on the spine of the CD may have an oval area on the front of it with
the CD number in it. The contrasting-colored oval usually means "drama."
