From now on releases from the first four years of the label’s existence are available for only £5 (CDs) and £4 (CDRs). This is all of the CDs that were released in plastic jewel cases, at01 to at46. The one exception is ‘Lost Daylight’ (at10), which was re-pressed as a card cover, and will still cost £9.
Some of the discs are close to selling out, but lots of bargains to be had.
