Description

Michael Jackson - Someone In The Dark (short and long versions). S45-1786, MCA, 1982.

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 was allowed to record with MCA on the condition that the song was not released as a single and the storybook lp not be released until after Thiller came out. The conditions were breached by MCA Records; they released the storybook in November 1982 and gave promo copies of "Someone In the Dark" to radio stations. MCA Records were forced to withdraw the album and were prohibited from releasing "Someone In the Dark" as a single after court action was taken by Epic against them in a $2 million lawsuit. The copies of the Jackson song have become one of the singer's rarest and most sought after promo singles as a result of the legal restriction. This 7" is from an employee of MCA Records.

Condition: VG++ single and sleeve. Payment: Paypal, with an additional charge for delivery confirmation. Shipping: First class mail, $3.00, Priority mail, $4.50, Overseas/Canada, $5.00 + delivery confirmation. Payment is due at auction's end.
