	Mike,
	      Nik was selling these at the Inner City Pompadours gig a 
few years back, as I recall. I nearly bought one but got the first 
Deviants album instead, because the stall was loaded with deleted 
Captain trips stuff and I figured if Nik was burning CD-Rs of his albums 
they'd be easy enough to find again. Not the full Kollector bit I 
realise. Anyway, what you describe sounds like one of those. As I 
understood it at the time, the deal was that the actual release of the 
disc was held up because parts of the band weren't happy with it and 
wanted to re-record their parts. Nik got so fed up/skint waiting that he 
was burning these `pre-release' CD-Rs meanwhile. As far as I know though 
the re-recording never happened and the music is the same on these discs 
as on the `real deal', which has a sleeve and artwork and all those 
other trappings of conformity. Have not yet got this either, so no 
Kollector points to me at all this round.

	Nota bene I no longer have any idea where I learnt all this 
gossip--possibly Andy Garibaldi but it seems a little unfair to pin it 
to him now--and I can't rule out that it was a spontaneous creation of 
some bored neurons in my over-busy skull. FWIW though, yours,
							      Jon
