A mega-rare MICHAEL JACKSON record is up for auction - and is expected to fetch a stunning $10,000 (GBP5,400).
The promo CD, said to be one of only 10 in the world, has gone on sale on the eBay website.
It contains an early demo of an unreleased Jackson song - Men In Black - along with an alternative version of Black or White and Too Much Monkey Business.
The disc was given to an executive from record company Sony BMG during a flight to Jackson's Neverland home in 1991, as a taster for the Dangerous album.
The anonymous seller, who is based in Britain, says of the record, "This promo CD is one of the rarest Michael Jackson items in existence, only 10 are said to exist and this is the first time one has been on eBay."
"The most interesting track on the CD is "Men In Black" (not related to the films staring Will Smith), as it was intended to be a single release from Dangerous, but Men In Black was shelved and since has not been released or leaked."
