Wait... I just picked this up a couple hours ago at my local Waxtrax (Boulder, CO), sitting in their super-small "new dance" section, for $8... I didn't even realize what it was - it was the only Scanner in there, and I just happened to remember reading about this when I got it home and saw the "Michael Jackson" tracks... Are we sure it wasn't re-released? It's really good stuff... ***** Check out the New! Improved!
