(Giants fans wishing to see this video more often are encouraged to call 1-800-DIAL MTV and request it!) In the US the "Statue" single will be released only as a cassette single (the b side is the album version of "She's Actual Size"). In the UK, it will also be released on 7" & 12" vinyl and as a 5" CD single (in addition to "She's Actual Size", the 12" & CD contain 2 historic non-album b sides taken from TMBG's semi-legendary cassette-only self-released "pre-first album" from 1985, "I'm Def" & "Which Describes How You're Feeling" (a newly recorded version of the latter song appears on APOLLO 18). ***************************************************************** TMBG Online Information Bulletins are published by the TMBG Information Club and made available on a variety of online services & networks. ***************************************************************** Send correspondence, love letters & advice to: Internet: bo@igc.org -or- cdp!bo@labrea.stanford.edu Bitnet: cdp!bo%labrea@stanford UUCP: uunet!pyramid!cdp!bo GEnie: R.ORLOFF AOL: TMBG Info WELL: cdp!bo US Mail: Box 110553 Williamsburg Stn.

It will not include the album version of "She's Actual Size". APOLOGIA: If anyone went out and shelled out too much money for one of the import singles thinking that those 2 tracks would be unavailable in the US, we're very sorry. The decision to include them was made at the last minute while John & John were in the UK and we didn't learn about it here until this morning when UPS brought a box of the US cassette singles to our door. ***************************************************************** DISCLAIMER: Nothing is true. Everything is permissible. ***************************************************************** BY THE WAY: The US cassette single should be in stores in about a week (around the 24th of February).
