    it would be very helpful if a suitably knowledgeable person was able to confirm the various label colour variations with respect to the order in which they were issued & re-issued. any takers?

      When mail is sent in Detroit it is processed through the Metroplex in Redford and a ink mark is left over the stamp that reads "METROPLEX"

        "It’s a kind of Metropolitan Complex like a new type of City that would be" - Juan Atkins interview, Sept. 2007

          In my home town of Brisbane, Australia, we have a commercial area called Metroplex, which is on Metroplex Avenue off of Terrace Place, turn left off Industrial Drive. I would have to guess and say the developer of that estate was into Front242, Stefan Robbers and Juan Atkins.

          I wouldn't blame him, brilliant artists, all influenced by Juan Atkins and Metroplex no doubt. I myself have a severe djing infliction....I can't help myself and always end up playing a Metroplex record or two...or three! Thanks Juan!
