Is there any info on the SON316-322 LPs in the book Retronic? I find it strange that they are not added to discogs and there are no pictures of them online that i have seen. Were they ever released or where the CD "reissues" the first time the music was released?

I’ll check tonight. My personal run of LPs stops at 314 I think.

There’s a SON 323 - Sounds of Science (1989). Seems to be the last.

These have always been a bit mysterious, but I think they were either: A.) planned, but never actually released as LPs or B.) released, but pressed in extremely limited quantities because of the transition to CD, with little distribution.

Sonoton's LPs were generally widely distributed in what seems to be a fairly large number of pressings, and considering that none of us have ever seen any copies of these specific ones, I strongly suspect option A to be the case - though I'd love to be proven wrong on this.
