It's true that the US "Cloudbusting" CD-promo never had a real release,
which is why it goes for megabucks.  It's the only place you can get
the extended "Cloudbusting" on CD, anywhere.  But unless you're a
COLLECTOR (read: "I buy it to HAVE it, not to DO ANYTHING with it!") I
can't see why anyone would want to blow the C-note for it.  It's not
like, say, the "Relax (Original Mix)" 12" by Frankie Goes To Hollywood,
which commands similar sums but which has a mix that's not available
anywhere else in the whole wide world . . . :-)
