Yeah -- I was on one of those forums, where they were discussing this album (warning creepy baby) http://bocpages.org/wiki/Play_by_Numbers . So, this one guy recalls frequently coming across this album with a picture of a baby every week in the early 90s when he would finger through the new promos that arrived that week. Then, a few weeks later, another user on the forum correctly identifies the town and record store, and also remembers seeing the legendary cd. The tldr of the post was something along the lines of "Hello, my name is Jim, I'm the guy who didn't buy Play by Numbers". Guys were kicking themselves.
