This took me a couple days, but here it is: http://
download.yousendit.com/7DA9902B038F3489

Notes: the link will be available only for a week.

Full disclaimer: This is a B side of a single released not in 2002,
but I believe in 1994. It is likely out of print, though I haven't
scoured the web for it. Downloading this track is technically a
copyright violation, so don't click on the link if you have a problem
with that. However, as the ability to purchase the single and thus
deposit some cash into the coffers of Mr. Burgess, Mr. Mael, and Mr.
Mael has likely vanished, I personally don't feel like it's stealing
or in any way not respecting their right/ability as musicians to make
money and thus I am ok sharing it here. In fact, chances are they'd
be happy to know this track is still being listened to and
appreciated so many years after it was quietly released.

Yes, it's in FLAC format. Hopefully this will encourage some of you
on this Mael-list to check out more from Mark Burgess and/or the
Chameleons, who are a fantastic and utterly underappreciated (at
least in the US) band.
