The Caveman Group: Members Posts: 2178 Joined: Jan. 2008 Posted: Jan. 25 2008, 12:34 Hi.I read somewhere (i think in either the re-issue booklet or in the Elements box-set booklet)that at the time of release Mike set up some kind of tresure hunt relating to Amarok. Could anyone tell me more and was this in response to Virgin's refusal to promote it?Thanks. -------------- THE COMING OF THE GREAT WHITE HANDKERCHEIF IS NIGH. Back to top
