Earth Inferno Promo... friend or foe?

Post by Diablos » Fri Mar 09, 2007 1:19 am

Ok another tester for Ande methinks...... but anyones welcome to throw their hat in....!

Ive got a UK vinyl copy of Earth Inferno which proclaims to be a PROMO. Now, according to Ande's bible there isnt any reference to such a thing!!!

Its the full two disc version in exactly the same housing as the normal release except for one detail, a 'Beggars Banquet' promo sticker on the top right corner of the front cover. The sticker is circular and burnt red and white in colour with the date 25 MAR 1991 stamped on it. The sticker also has detail of a contact which reads - 'CONTACT SUE/CATHY 081 870 9912 FAX 081 871 1766'

I would try the number but as we all know its a little out of date!

Does anyone know Sue or Cathy or how legit this record actually is!!!

Cheers :)

Sounds like it's a record company promo sent out to reviewers the media etc. Standard practice for pluggers, journos, djs et al to punt unwanted promos to secondhand outlets.

Pretty much what James sez...

Sticker looks like this, right? -

Beggars used these stickers on promos, and regular stock, so whilst the album technically isn't a promo version, the inclusion of the sticker makes it one...

Sue and Cathy both worked in the press dept
