NICE!! Collectors item! I have a couple of Poison cassette singles buried away… I just don’t think it’s one of them.

Hah! I do too actually! I have the single for Unskinny Bop. I probably posted pictures of it when I did my review of Flesh & Blood. I lost most of my cassette singles when I moved but then my parents found them in their basement! But sadly I found that I must have given some of them away because I know I had more, like a lot of Def Leppards and bands like that.
