Russell Haswell to Sony, 10 years previous: 'i've got an idea for an album release, but you've got to create the format. it's like the new compact disc, but get this mate, it's smaller. yeah shut up mate, even smaller than compact. idk what to call it, you Sony guys think real hard about it, you're smart chaps. i need it ready by '98 guys. get on it.'

btw the website referenced on the back of the CD artwork seems to be going to: https://archive.aec.at/prix/148064/

i'm guessing maybe the screencaps are from a private/small announcement press thing? perhaps they gave Haswell a copy of it on VHS back then since they featured the OR release & that's where the caps were nabbed from....or maybe it was public at some point but just didn't make a splash and isn't online? idk, hard to search for this sort of thing
