IIRC, I think there was a promo tape that was sent to the media - which is where the covers come from (since there was no cover for it with CB)? Not 100% on that, quote me at your own risk. razz -- This definately wasn't sold as a commercial item. You might be thinking of Kamasutra, which was available as a cassette tape before it was bundled with Crystal Ball.

And the title track b/w Don't Play Me was released as a CD single, and Welcome 2 The Dawn was the b-side to 'The Holy River' cassette single available from Borders.

It was only released as apart of CB. CB was promoted as bootleg material and an "all new" album of unreleased material.
