Re: Japan Sampler + minor updates

Sadly, this one is going to be tough to find.

The sampler CD is only available when buying in person at a Tower Japan store...

A friend in Japan writes:

"When you buy via Tower on-line you receive the 4AD sticker ONLY. People that buy 2 or more CDs from the 4AD campaign will be entered into a draw, with some (but not all) of the entries may then be sent the sampler CD too. The only way to be sure of the sampler was to buy in person on the day of release from a Tower Japan store."
