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...
