Please, allow me to introduce myself : I’ve not only been a dedicated follower of collecting but a co-owner of second hand record shops, an A&R executive at record companies, a chief editor in music magazines, a radio dj, etc for the last 35 years in Greece! So, a hell of a lot of rare and collectable items such as out-of-print original records, first pressings, special editions, promo samples, white labels, test pressings, magazines, posters, catalogues, memorabilia and other fetish objects of desire in 5, 7, 10 and 12 inches not only from Greece but from all over the world are going to be exhibited through these pages … Turn on and stay tuned!

So, up for auction is a hard to find rare original Dutch-Only 1st vinyl pressing of Michael Jackson’s exclusive strictly Special Limited Edition - For Promotion Only 45 rpm 7-inch Speed Demon single that was strangely produced in 1989 - almost 2 years after Bad album was released - with an Epic label, Cat No PRO 548 and Matrix No 11-000548-00-1A 1 A stamped on both sides. Housed in an unique picture sleeve, featuring a Bad album artwork pose from the artist himself, was send to radio ONLY in order to promote the single release of “Speed Demon", as the song had become popular because of its use in the Moonwalker movie (as with “Leave Me Alone”). The 4-minutes and 1-second version on this single is slightly different to the album version as it fades out a few seconds early and thus avoids the fade-in of "Liberian Girl" as found on the Bad album. As this single release of Speed Demon was never sold in stores, this means that this is the ONLY release in existence of the “Speed Demon” single that never was.

Deleted upon release, unavailable for all these years and RARELY SEEN on eBay in ANY condition, this must have item for every devoted fan of Michael Jackson does not get offered up too often. So, do not miss …
