I don't ever recall seeing a cover for it - it was always a jewel case with no front insert - just the CD.

Or am I remembering this wrong?

Search on ebay for the following item number

120592021153

it's a scandal 4 tracks cd with sleeve; it fetched 206 pounds.

It is indeed a withdrawn commercial release. Most copies where "marked for destruction" and lost their sleeves ...but found owners somewhere in between ...hahaha! I recall some kind of promotion like "get the single free when buying the album on CD" or something like that.

I saw one on ebay one time with a sleeve.  The seller wanted $500 for it. :-S  Wish mine had one.

Yes, in the USA, all of the CD's that had Hijack My Heart listed them on the cover as "Hijacked My Heart".  The German and UK versions didn't have the song on them.

One of these is currently being auctioned on eBay - no Picture Sleeve. The current bid is $71.00 USD and it will end in 1 day. How much will it fetch?

That's because they had been out for a while before we got 'em here in the US.

Only 15 days left to bid. 

I recall in the old pre-web days, glancing through music mags such as 'Goldmine' or 'Discoveries', seeing wish lists with this 4-track listed many times.  Individuals were offering $50-$60 for it.  A)  I thought they were nuts.  B)  It wasn't until a year or so later that I learned what was on it, and then I would have spent even more to get it, as I ended up spending more than that to get the UK singles with the respective nonalbum B sides.

2001, I found this release at a record show for a whopping ten bucks (minus sleeve).  With the Singles Collection release, I'd say the value of the Scandal 4-track might be down to $50 or less.

Oh, and please......do not make any remarks as to 'Coming Soon'..........
