i swear I owned a copy of this (or a mix of it) on cassette. Might of been a promo. I came by it in 1999, when a friend of a friend type thing very briefly introduced me to one guy involved in Rawkus Records, and he gave me a copy of the cassette. Does anybody else remember seeing a cassette copy? I'm going to have to tear my house apart looking for it.
