I believe Troccoli owns this. I wouldn't expect it to leak or anything.

You are correct sir.

It now can collect dust like the others.

I like Troccoli btw very nice guy.

People only know about this disc because someone spotted it on eBay (I think it was you guys on BadApples?). But for every disc that gets seen, there are probably three or four others that go completely unnoticed.

In 2025, leaks, alternate versions, and remixes are easier than ever to fake because of AI. The only reliable way to verify something is real is if it comes directly from physical media—like internal studio reference discs or label-made copies which is why (for those who still care) it's worth looking out for this stuff now more than before.

This disc matches the look of Capitol studio discs from that era (I’ve seen a few before), so I don’t doubt that it’s legitimate.

The bad news: you’re not going to hear this shared publicly by Troc or the person who sold it to him.
The good news: it’s probably not much different from the hundreds of versions of the song we already have. The only potential plus if we did get it would be a rip of lossless audio which might be an improvement of any comparable version floating around out there.
