A friend recently asked about some Mike Rep releases, so I threw together this rough discography for him. Now I'm posting it on-line, and will expand, update, and format it as time permits. Feel free to email additional info to webmaster@collectorscum.com.

Update, March 2004: After many delays, I'm finally getting this in order thanks to lots of input from Mr. Amrep himself -- I'm still working through his emails. Much better formatting and cover scans from my collection to follow.
