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!

I don't know exactly why it was recalled either, but it is worth noting that both tracks entitled "Michael Jackson" on this release *also* sample "Michael Jackson" by Negativland, thus connecting this thread to the Fatboy Slim/Negativland thread in one fell swoop. I love when that happens. :-) NP: Republica - Republica -- Adam J Weitzman NewsEdge Corporation This space intentionally left http://www.newsedge.com blank.

right on! and it must've been destined to be recalled due to the negativland connection. :) * #### a disturbance in a system. #### laerm. @voicenet.com ##:# see the stars, they're shining bright/everything's alright tonight
