Analogue Bubblebath Vol 3 is an EP by electronic musician Richard D. James, under the pseudonym of AFX, released in 1992 on Rephlex Records.[1] It is the third release in the Analogue Bubblebath series, and his first release to use the AFX variation of his pseudonym Aphex Twin.
The original EP consists of nine songs distributed across eight tracks. It was originally released on 12" vinyl, then some months later (in early 1993) on compact disc,[4] with five additional tracks. It entered the dance singles chart at number 40 on 13 February 1993.[5]
In 1997 Rephlex Records released Analogue Bubblebath Vol 3.1 containing a selection of the CD only tracks on 12" vinyl.
Due to its myriad reissues and re-releases with additional tracks, omitted tracks and shuffled tracklisting across the different versions, Analouge Bubblebath Vol 3 is one of Richard D. James' most perplexing releases.
