Similar to this post with The World According to download, here is the other ULTRA RARE Cardigans EP “In Pursuit of Pooh”. This is from 1992! This will hopefully get all the rip off bootleggers from selling this for $200.

Katy Perry wants the new album to sound like The Cardigans “Lovefool” and Ace of Base “Signs”. So says MTV News.
She then backed off a little bit saying that it was “roller skate music”.
I highly doubt that we’ll be hearing from Katy Perry 16 years from now. Enjoy your 10 minutes of fame.
MTV did a video on Bargain Spin about records that have been overlooked and they talk about The Cardigans “Gran Turismo”.
