500 units pressed, not including test presses. All sold out although I had alot of trouble getting paid from distributors.
Japanese copies had different labels that international labels because at the time UFO didn't want his name on the Uraken remix for the international label.

There is almost no Hardcore vinyl that would make enough money for it to be worth selling.

I tried to imply other auction houses with the 's in ebay, but yea, Yahoo is still very popular in Japan (I think it's more popular than google)

Unless it sells for over 100 pounds there isn't really much point selling, as if you keep the vinyl then you have it forever but the money on the other hand will be gone in a week. That is unless you actually don't want it.

I could just sell some vinyl, buy amber leaf with the money and then never smoke it. Your argument is invalid.
That's starting to sound like a good idea. I don't even have a working turntable anymore.

Big labels sold 1000-3000 vinyl units as late as 2008, when MWX002 came out hardcore was rebooting and no one had ever done a Japanese hardcore release, thus 500 units was really a gamble for me, and pressing vinyl your break even is around 500 units anyway.
I basically released the first j-core track on vinyl that was internationally distributed, uber risky but the tune was solid I thought. At the time people loved it or hated it.

It's not invalid. And what you said made no sense. Tobacco isn't a vinyl that has any personal value. It's not worth the hassle of selling for an insignificant amount of money.

Personal value is all subjective. As the saying goes, one man's junk is another man's treasure.
