Hey Optica,
I'm sure watching that record fall down the stairs was painful... If
you can't find it in the UK I would check www.groovedis.com - I think
last time I was in there they had a few copies of Plutonia around in
backstock. Maybe too much of a pain in the ass to mail order one UK
record from a US distro, but hey, these are desperate times :)
I know what you mean about bullshit shops flawing the merchandise
before you've made it to the shop. I've almost entirely quit shopping
at Grammophone (which is the granddaddy of all dance shops in
Chicago) because any records I find are covered in crud. No joke.
Good luck!
