Mo' Wax USA or whatever is an offshoot of London Records/FFRR in the U.S.
and will be distributed by Island's ILS distribution arm (they also dist the
Rebirth of Cool comps, Quango records and Payday rap releases).
So far the only things scheduled are: Money Mark CD (with 10 extra tracks!),
DJ Krush CD and 12" (one cut with DJ Shadow and one I can't remember) and a
compilation-details tba. There is also a promo only 12" sampler for the
Money Mark CD. That's it so far so if you're hoping to get all the UK Mo'
Wax releases cheap forget it!
