      Turns out that Michael is in no way interested in his old material or any sort of reissues (I sent an email to Crocodile Management and got a reply from his agent, even UMC/Universal have tried and he point blank refused). So, anything here is most likely never going to get repressed again. He also stated in a 2017 interview that he now thinks Samurai is a terrible song. A shame.

          First press. Very rare. Hard to find. Excellent edition. It is made in Japan.

            On 25th of Jan.Micheal Cretu gave me one of test-Pressing of the German Version of the "Chinesische Mauer" as a present. No. DM 206884 A - 3 / 85 S II. The record has never been played, the sleeve is a bit crached, but it's signed byM.C. himself. Is someone interested?
