Michael Jackson – 12″ Smile Withdrawn Single EPC 665130 6
The “Smile” 12″ single by Michael Jackson (catalog number EPC 665130 6) is an incredibly rare and highly sought-after collector’s item. Originally scheduled for release in 1997, this single was withdrawn just days before its official launch, making it one of the most elusive pieces of Michael Jackson’s discography. The release was canceled at the last minute, and all pressings were withdrawn and destroyed, with only a few copies escaping destruction, making this unplayed, mint condition copy a true gem for any serious collector. The vinyl is in unplayed, flawless condition, and the sleeve is pristine with no creases or damage. This 12″ single was intended as the final release from Michael Jackson’s “HIStory: Past, Present & Future, Book I” album, and its withdrawal has made it an almost impossible find. This original withdrawn pressing is an item that hardly ever changes hands, and when it does, it commands high value among Michael Jackson fans and collectors. For those lucky enough to win this incredible prize, this record will become a highlight of their Michael Jackson memorabilia collection and a rare piece of music history.
Auction estimate value: approximately $2,500.
Cash alternative: $1.250
