well just so you can hear it from the horses mouth so to speak...

You were lucky to find the record as it is now deleted as Sony Records
decided that using the words 'Michael Jackson' on a record despite the fact
that it is a common name in england was enough for them to sue us - oh!
Get it while you can.  Damn them.

     As far as how rare it is... the e.p. came out on August 18, 1997 and
was withdrawn sometime towards the end of November the same year.  I've
seen the US version of the cd on a dozen people's `FS/FT' lists over the
past few months for around $6 US on the average (probably all cut-outs).
Get the cd version as it contains two more tracks than the vinyl.  Get it
because it's good.  ;)
