This label is weird. It's almost always the CD presses of releases that are usually an absolute pain the ass to find. Whilst, 12" presses are much easier to come by. Did Airplay Records deliberately do this? As in press the CD versions in stupidly low amounts? I don't exactly collect one style of music, but do know that this and other French labels like Flarenasch are notorious for having some of the rarer and most expensive Eurodance CDMs. Some of the rarer ones can easily fetch well over 300$+ No one really seems to ever purchase the 12" versions of said releases, as a result they sell for virtually nothing compared to their elusive CD counterparts.
This label (And other French labels for the matter.) also did a strange practice in issuing some dance music CDs in cardboard sleeves. The upper left of the cardboard sleeve says "2 Titres" (Containing 2 tracks, usually the Radio and Extended versions.) while also pressing a CDM variant with additional mixes. (Airplay records dubbed them "CD Maxi Special Club") If a dance track has 2 variants. The Cardboard version is generally a lot easier to find and a lot less expensive than their CDM counterpart. Why issue the same release with less tracks? Was the cardboard version an economic version? Why is the CDM version much more rarer?

Some CDs from this label are so hard to come by that one copy appears for sale every 4-5 years. Strange thing its that I've seen releases that were pressed in pressed in limited quantities (1000 or less.) But appear every once in a while for sale (Maybe 3-4 times every 2 years.) Something really weird was going on. Perhaps, it has do to with the distribution. Every mega rare CD seems to have been distributed by Polygram France. Which makes me think that their distribution was ridiculously bad.

Maybe dance music collectors own all the copies of the CD versions of dance tracks and are not willing to sell them? ZYX Music which released similar music as opposed to Airplay records, pressed a decently even amount of CD / Vinyl of most of their catalog that was available on both CD and 12". Both versions have generally similar rarity. Yes, there are ZYX CDMs harder to find than their 12" counterparts and visa versa. But with Airplay Records and similar French labels is the same story: Stupidly hard to find CDs and easy to find 12"s.

Yes, I know I'm digging way too deep into this.
