i've got this one, it's a promo only release (with an exclusive
instrumental never before released), which was also available as part
of a 4x12 box set with t-shirt.  the idea was probably to drum up a
bit of publicity for a forthcoming new single (there were rumours
going round at the time, and someone from radio one said they were
going to play it, don't know if they ever did), which looks now to
have been scrapped.
