Stalker: The reason is simple. In the czech music shop aren't Recoil discs usually for sale. Each shop orders only one or two copies and deprecates to order more again. The managers of these shops told us that records as Recoil or Barry Adamson are sold in few hours but to order more is hazardous because they're intended for very specific people's group and nobody can know how many discs is real to sale. Vast majority of fans bought their Recoil records on Depeche Mode Friends parties (there's great Mute shop) or ordered them by the Internet.
