Promo Stuff

Everything you could not buy; promo items, press kits, complimentory samplers and test pressings.

Promo Section..

A typical promo record would be pressed in 2.500 to 5.000 copies and mainly distributed among radio stations and record company executives. You can recognise the promo item by the imprint 'Promotional copy, not for sale' or some similar remark.
Sometimes, special complimentory records or samplers were made to promote various artists from one label. If they were not for sale to the general public, they are included here.
The following unique items have been spotted.
