A long, long time ago my friend Timmy worked in a record store and turned me on to the CD "A+B" by Luxo Champ, which I reviewed at 16bit.com a long time ago. Way back then I tried to find the only other release mentioned anywhere, which was "Duster." I was unable to find a copy for sale until 2012, and it was four bucks. I was pretty dang happy.
As I write this, I just found out that another 7" exists and naturally I bought it. I've been unable to find out exactly what exists, and Discogs.org is unhelpful... so I'm making this page to list what I know exists. If you know something I don't, please let me know and I'll add it here (and then offer to buy your copy.) Or if you're in the band and doing a vanity search, do let me know, I'd love to waste about 20 minutes of your time and ask some questions about this whole thing.

The two versions of Block Mover are different. The track on "3.2.1. Action" features Jet Jaguar, The Sicilian, #5, and Stacy Stitcher on keyboards. The Block Mover on "Shine on Sweet Starlet," is the same version as on the CD that you refer to as "A+B."
yours,
Jet Jaguar
