As far as I know the Dutch "That's Entertainment/Suedehead" promo CD (which was released to promote the "Suedehead" compilation) is one of the most sought after items. It usually sells for around 100 GBP on UK ebay.

And - yes I know - some of you (us) got it for much less......:p

I would venture to say that the rarest CD promo is the "no one can hold a candle to you" UK CD-R.

This I managed to get from EIL who are usually notoriously expensive. They had about 4 at the time and I know where at least two of them ended up. I haven't seen this around much and am quite fond of it given the unique sleeve and album info on the reverse. Can't remember what I paid but it was much less than I have paid for pre-release promo cds' on Ebay. About £15 or so, Grim can confirm if he's not too busy enjoying Man Utds' failure today!

Could anyone of you give me more info on the "No One Can Hold A Candle To You" promo? I have heard a lot about it, but never seen it.
What does it look like? Has anyone got a picture?
And what does "CD-R" mean (as opposed to CD)?

Thanks in advance.

Walkers, it has the band photo from the "Jesus" cd single where the band are in an empty auditorium, on the front. The Promo had this on the insert but a picture of Moz on the very front. I would suggest a visit to 'passions' to verify to be honest. http://www.passionsjustlikemine.com/disc/moz-d47ihfj.htm

Here are a few pics. I've only ever seen this twice: once on eBay and once on eil.com. Can't remember what I paid....but it was probably too much! By CD-R I mean it's not a pressed, silver CD. It's a CD-recordable done on a PC most likely.

hello everyone, i think we have all forgotten to mention the 3" interlude reference promo disc, aswell as the morrissey "singles" reference promo disc from 1994 (not the promo for any of the singles box sets) i believe those are some nice items not many people know of ,and by far alot more rare than the entertainment promo thats for sure
