OK, what I want to know now is if I mailorder these remastered CDs of
PHAEDRA through STRATOSFEAR, how do I distinguish them from the
non-remastered ones?  Do they also carry stickers saying "super bit
mapping", as I've seen on the later virgin remasters?  And where can I find
a copy of Electronic Orgy?
