updated since forever, but it's still pretty usefull.

I`ve got ab4 (from 94) and it came in a greyscale paper
sleeve, it`s a quite "distorted" grey picture of Richards
face through a videocameras viewfinder/or on a monitor I
guess....
- and, ab4 IS worth getting!

(on the disc it states "copying punishable by death", be
warned! ; )

it has 5 tracks, really 4 cos last is less than 20 seconds
of distorted noise (knievel)

the first track (elephant) is a bit annoying imo

nacmat: here's the whole sorted AB3 story: (keeps my mind
sharp)

The original release of AB3 was on vinyl in 1993, and also
on CD which came in a bubblewrap slipcase and had more,
slightly different tracks than the vinyl version. The most
notable difference between the 1993 and the reissue in 1997
is the colour of the Aphex logos on the sticker - the
orignal release was black, whereas the aphex logos on the
reissue are blue. Rephlex also released AB 3.1 only on vinyl
in 97 as well (which contained a few extra tracks not found
on the previous vinyl and CD versions of AB3. Then, in 2002,
Rephlex released the CD version of AB3 on vinyl.
