Underworld: Spoonman
[199?] promo single

12": 199? UK (Junior Boy's Own; ??) [white label promo]
I'm reviving this question because it's always bugged me. I actually saw a review of Spoonman in a UK dance mag back in the day, and recall Karl also telling me they would take some white labels to the record stores near their Soho office. I wonder if they may have just made up a batch of these to get some interest in the album which was either just out or imminent. Anyway I trudged around every record store I could find around their offices the very next day and got either the "never heard of it" of "all gone mate" answer (which could also mean they never heard of it either). Would be a good question to ask R+K on the next radio show as to whether this mythical beast really did exist, or if I just wasted my shoe leather.
