Where can I find the original version of Eminem's song "My Name Is?"?

When I say original I mean the version where he says "my English teacher wanted to have sex with me in junior high, the only problem was my English teacher was a guy." Then he goes on to say something about raping lesbians.

I believe I have an MP3 somewhere where the lesbians part is not cut, but the other part is. I may be remembering incorrectly though.

I thought one could get the original version from the Slim Shady LP album so I went to FYE and bought it, but it's cut even though I got the explicit version.

I've done some research and it seems it was never released. Except maybe in Europe or in early cassettes.

Was the original version ever released on a CD in the U.S.? Should I buy a European import?

I know there are some Youtube videos of the version.

Thank you.

    It was one of those cases where the line was not allowed to be released, even on the explicit album version, the same as the "Columbine" line on "I'm Back" and the line about slitting a four-year-old's throat on "Kim," both from The Marshall Mathers LP. There will most likely be versions of this on YouTube but they will be labelled "illegal version."

    It's on the first album before Marshall Mathers
