Phantom P-VINE mini-lps(?) 15 Years ago

I wonder if our moderator or anyone else can help me with a question regarding one of the first Japanese mini-lp series- namely the STAX series released by P-VINE in 1996-7. These releases were all gatefolds (even when the original albums were not- a characteristic that, strictly speaking, disqualifies them from being replicas) and came with a distinctive yellow obi, a JASRAC sticker on the back, and a code PCD-4401, PCD-4402, etc. up to and including PCD-4479. My question is this- were all the titles in this series actually produced? This seems a rather odd question, but there are some titles which appear in some listings on the Internet but not others, and are (to my knowledge) impossible to find on Amazon, eBay, etc. The specific titles I'd like to enquire about (as in, Does anyone know if they actually exist?!!) are PCD-4406 (RUFUS THOMAS, Walking The Dog); PCD-4411 (THE MAR-KEYS, Do The Pop-eye); PCD-4416 (ALBERT KING, Born Under A Bad Sign); PCD-4417 (CARLA THOMAS, Comfort Me) and PCD-4422 (BLACK OAK ARKANSAS, Early Times). Of these albums, only the Rufus Thomas is listed on this site, but without a picture. All other titles in this series are listed. And with the exception of the Black Oak Arkansas (1974), these titles are the earliest albums in the series, dating from 1967 or earlier. This means that the original masters are owned by Atlantic, which makes me wonder if P-VINE didn't come up against some licensing hassles and drop these titles before they were produced. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
