Shortly after the release of the re-recorded Pac-Man Fever album, the duo released this EP via MP3.com. (Sorry, this tiny image of the cover is the only one I can find now.)
It should not be confused with the 2009 EP called Now and Then. (Note the word "and" instead of an ampersand.) The two EPs only have two songs in common, and neither is "Pac-Man Fever". But the 1999 EP included a karaoke version of the song and an "unplugged" version.
The unplugged version of "Pac-Man Fever" was originally recorded for the nationally syndicated radio program Retro Rewind in 1998. The song is still lurking around the Internet, if you look carefully. (For example, https://archive.org/details/cftp-2010-05-21/.)
Four of the songs -- "It's Allright", "Pogwild", and the karaoke versions of "E.T. I Love You" and the 1999 version of "Pac-Man Fever" -- seem to be lost and unavailable anywhere. I sadly did not buy the EP while it was available.
