(stereo) (made in USA ) -- Michael Jackson - Someone In The Dark (Long Version) b/w Someone In The Dark (Short Version) 7" 45 r.p.m. record.This is an original first pressing from 1982.
This is a promotional copy. It was only released as a promo.
This white label 7" promo is taken from the "ET Storybook" release, which saw Michael narrating the story of ET. There was a lot of controversy between record labels for this release, as Michael was signed to Epic, but released a recording with MCA, which was considered to be a breach of contract, so the ET Storybook's sale was cancelled. A lot of the storybooks already sold by this time, but this was something Quincy mentioned as an issue when receiving his grammy for this production.This Someone In The Dark 7" was a promo only release to promote the storybook. The reverse of the record shows a large picture of Michael and ET, while the front displays images of the boxset. This 7" was produced in such limited quantities it is considered to be one of the rarest pieces of Michael Jackson memorabilia on the planet. The condition of the record is near mint, appears to be unplayed.
The picture sleeve is in excellent VG++ condition, the bottom left corner is creased.
Please complete the transaction within one week of auction closing.
