Well i did jump down this rabbit hole a bit this morning, so i can speak with the authority of somebody who has spent several minutes, a quarter hour at least, researching this, and i have found no trace of it existing. That said, as you point out, the discography here lists it, with a cat no., so it's possible it's out there, somewhere.
It actually seems more likely than not, as all other IISFFGWG singles were released on CD in the UK (except "Thousands..." but that was only a promo release).
It is very likely that it does not actually exist and that the listing on Medusa's discography is due to a bad assumption on my part 25 years ago. As you note, the other singles from the same era follow a standard catalog number format and had a standard grab-bag of formats. It is likely that I made what seemed a reasonable assumption based on my having the 7" or 12" or something that somewhere in the world was the CD5 with a catalog number in keeping with the other singles.
Hard to say. That was a long, long time ago.
CVS log history starts after that section of the discography was created. Sept of 1999 evidently.
