I Just Can’t Stop Loving You spoken intro

Given the cringe-inducing vocals, I am almost embarrassed about this, but I really need a copy of the spoken intro version of Michael Jackson's “I Just Can't Stop Loving You” from the ‘Bad’ CD. The first week of its release, my local Top 40 station played it, and so in my mind it became the definitive version.

I understand from Brian W's thread that this version only exists on original UK CD copies; Any ideas on what the catalog number would be or any way to differentiate the original from subsequent pressings? Any help would be incredibly appreciated!

If it helps you to narrow down your choices, here is the info on my non-US "Bad" CD release whic does NOT have the spoken intro.

Catalog number: EPC 450290 2

Disc itself says Made in Austria.

Back insert states Printed in Holland, and in the all rights reserved section, it states "...In the UK apply for public performance licenses to PLL..."

Note: This edition has the Spanish version of the song as the lead track on the disc, although it is not noted on disc or inserts track listing, just a sticker on the front insert.

Thank you so much - you guys are always VERY thorough; Much appreciated. I'll post back here when I get this elusive version!

Brian, your has the same catalog number as mine, sounds like we have different pressings but same manufacture origin.

I bought it from a friend who was letting go of a lot of her CD's years ago. She bought it around 1992 as I can recall.

The sticker reads "BONO ESPECIAL: SELECCION EXTRA "Todo Mi Amor Eres Tu". Since in Spanish, I guess it was thought for Latin America distribution.

Yes Jebsib! Jeez, all that wimpy whispering : P

Reminds me of his lines on the "Thriller" video:

"I was wondering if, ehem, ehem, you would be my girl" in that oh so fragile tone.

"I'm not like other guys" he informs her, and what an accurate premonition that would prove to be : p

Sorry, I had to.
