I never intended to imply that there was never a legitimate Japanese
release but someone here recently mentioned that they Japanese import
version that they received looked supiciously like a bootleg.  Is the
legitimate release still available?

Uuuugh, how could I have said such a thing?   I guess it's this
reoccuring nightmare I've been having of two Japanese women singing
_Them Heavy People_ in lounge singer style.  Just when I think it's
coming to an end, Kate charges in and does a dance routine as the
lounge band plays on.  What could it all mean? ;-)

Oh, and while they did manage to name _THP_ correctly, the video is
mis-titled _The SingleS File_.
