and now for something completely different, i'm a huge steely dan fan from aja and gaucho to the latter years, and donald fagen fan too. so i'm always buying promos when i can find them: here's one from 'everything must go', the European promo CD: https://www.discogs.com/Steely-Dan-Everything-Must-Go/release/4018541 Steely Dan – Everything Must Go Label: Reprise Records – SP245W Format: CD, Single, Promo Country: Europe Released: 2003 Genre: Jazz, Rock, Pop Style: Pop Rock, Fusion Tracklist 1 The Last Mall 3:36 2 Blues Beach 4:29 Total Time: 8:05 just album tracks. later -1
here is a promo sampler i found out about that had an alternate remix by erasure on it. also, its a 3 inch single: https://www.discogs.com/Various-A-Little-Taste/release/2451107 Various – A Little Taste Label: Warner Bros.

ok, just checked, and its the same?!!##$#$#$#@$@#$ Got thrown off by the credits. so the just say yes compilation is the culprit: Erasure Hideaway (Remix)Producer [Uncredited] – Flood Remix [Uncredited] – Phil Harding so did little louie vega steal the credit on 'the two ring circus', guess we'll never know. oh well, i don't have that just say yes compilation, and i always like the cd3 singles. later -1
That 3 inch is nice!. Yes, the Just Say Yes comp is the same. Nice to have if you're looking for good mastering's of the mixes And oh and I've been burned a few times on mix titles not being what they say... Nice for the b-side Basilica and the cover art though An 'Extended' does not exist.
i have all the living in a box european/cd singles i think. but as it turns out there were US promos for some of them, and some had different tracklistings and mixes. https://www.discogs.com/Living-In-A-Box-Blow-The-House-Down/release/1421903 Living In A Box – Blow The House Down Label: Chrysalis – DPRO 23364 Format: CD, Maxi-Single, Promo Country: US Released: 1989 Genre: Electronic Style: Synth-pop TracklistShow Credits 1 Blow The House Down (7" Version) 4:17 2 Blow The House Down (Conversion Version) 7:11 3 Blow The House Down (Keith Cohen Mix) 6:23 Total Time: 17:51 one of the mixes, i only had on vinyl before. later -1
This one is pretty I rare, I suspect. I listed it on Discogs a long time ago, and so far the database still only contains one copy. I found it on eBay back before the turn of the millennium when eBay wasn't all that big. It took me years to realize that the red and white sticker indicated a promo copy in Japan.
That Japanese Enjoy The Silence is worth a few pennies isn’t it ? I had one and sold it for over £100 15 years ago. Can’t imagine it’s come down in value. Did you pay much for it ?
I bought it years ago so can't remember. I think I may have got it with a Violator 2 CD Japan bundle as it was a replacement CD.
here's another weird one related to the group kissing the pink, i have never heard of this promo or seen it, until i was diving into all the miscellaneous releases for them, and 1 copy was there, so i got it. https://www.discogs.com/Kissing-The-Pink-Promo-Copy-Not-For-Resale/release/11738199 Kissing The Pink – Promo Copy - Not For Resale Label: Not On Label – none Format: CDr, Compilation, Promo Country: UK Released: 2011 Genre: Electronic Style: Synth-pop, New Wave, House Tracklist 1 One Step 4:32 2 Never Too Late To Love You 3:52 3 Certain Things Are Likely 4:15 4 Last Film 3:26 5 Maybe This Day 3:37 6 Big Man Restless 3:47 7 Big Man Restless (Jepodise Remix) 4:46 Total Time: 28:15 Notes 2011 UK 7-track promotional only CD-R test pressing. Genuine record company-manufactured printed disc as exclusively distributed to press and media. Packaging: PVC wallet. 'Never Too Late To Love You' misprinted as "Never To Late To Love You" on CDr there is one new mix on it, which is probably why it came out. now i can't remember if it was any good or different. will have to check. later -1
i know that its only there for legal reasons. but i always get a kick out every promo that has 'not for sale', 'not for resale', etc printed on it. because every single promo i have, was one that i bought, that was for sale. later -1

here is a rather rather rare promo showreel from the buick project. they've worked with tracey thorn, and underworld and other electronica bands. the two mixes on here aren't new, but its still cool having this compilation: https://www.discogs.com/The-Buick-Project-Production-Remixes/release/1330640 The Buick Project* – Production & Remixes Label: Saved Records – none Format: CDr, Promo Country: UK Released: 2006 Genre: Electronic Style: House Tracklist 1 –Buick Project Luminare 7:58 2 –Tiefschwarz Feat.

i like the very early chemical brothers songs and tracks, but they did do a cool collaboration with bernard sumner of new order called 'out of control', there were several remixes of this, some on cd, some on vinyl, some on japanese cd only, and promos. but i didn't know about this one until much later, and then spent a long time finding it. i'm a huge fan of the dj sasha also: https://www.discogs.com/The-Chemical-Brothers-Out-Of-Control/release/639051 The Chemical Brothers – Out Of Control Label: Virgin – none, Freestyle Dust – none Format: CDr, Promo Country: UK Released: 1999 Genre: Electronic Style: Techno, Big Beat TracklistShow Credits 1 Out Of Control (Sasha Remix Edit) 4:18 Total Time: 4:18 this remix also appeared on 2 french promo cd singles which almost never come up and a $250 UK promo cd, which i wouldn't pay that much for. i think i got this one for $13. later -1
planet funk is a band that i discovered in the 2000's, that was house and electronica. they made their own music but did remixes too. deep dish remixed their song 'inside all the people', which is a song that should have been a hit in the 80's, but was discovered later on, haha i had all the singles, vinyl, and remixes i thought, but i then i found out about this promo, it disappeared a few times before i finally was able to buy it, and some exclusive mixes too. https://www.discogs.com/Planet-Funk-Inside-All-The-People-Mixes/release/6519469 Planet Funk – Inside All The People (Mixes) Label: Virgin – none Format: CDr, Single, Promo Country: UK Released: 2001 Genre: Electronic Style: House, Deep House TracklistShow Credits 1 Inside All The People (Album Version) 5:19 2 Inside All The People (Deep Dish Remix) 11:37 3 Inside All The People (Deep Dish Remix) (Instrumental) 11:37 4 Inside All The People (Deep Dish Dub) 12:55 5 Inside All The People (Deep Dish Radio Mix) 4:46 6 Inside All The People (Harvey's Big Producer Mix) 9:50 7 Inside All The People (Harvey's Ibiza Sleepy Mix) 6:19 8 Inside All The People (Tenax Club Dub) 7:28 9 Inside All The People (Phunk Investigation Remix) 8:20 Total Time: 1:18:11 later -1
