Like Phantoms, Forever

Like Phantoms, Forever is a handmade CDR release of American rock band My Chemical Romance. It was created as a promotional CD to be handed out at a show in Rutland, VT at the Dana Recreation Center on September, 21st, 2002. Because there are only 100 copies, it is very hard to find. The EP (extended play) includes a cover of the song Jack the Ripper by the English singer Morrissey recorded at the American Legion in Cresskill, NJ on July 5th, 2002.[1]

Some copies were burned as data CDs with three WAV files instead of a standard audio CD. This was likely accidental.[2]
