have you ever found opeth promo CDs? What do they look like?

I d like to get some cause they're probably ultra limited no?...me and my opeth collection: it's a love story!

check out the discography on Opeth's official homepage.... there are pictures of the promo CDs.
but I guess it's impossible to get one...

[Lethe78]

I have a damnation promo

 

[opethpainter]

i've got the still life promo... seems i'm one of the few here

 

[mooserider]

do they have special booklet or anything? I know the only promo CDs I have (not from Opeth) are really cool regrding the information on the band and stuff.

I would assume they have backround information on the band and such.. because theyre used for promoting the band/album

hmm I kinda thought they would just be not labeled properly or anything, no covers...


but know I come to think of it it sounds more feasible to have it good looking and stuff to promote the band... I don't know, I don't own any

it depends on labels

still life promo has just got front and back cover of the official cd edition, without info. that's typical of peaceville promos (i've got also light at the end... by MDB, and it's the same)

century media provides promos with infos and bio of the band.

it depends...

 

[Scourge of Malice]

Yeah I've never seen a promo cd that's just my guess as to what they'd have

How does one go about getting a promo CD? I got DGM's HIdden Place two weeks before it was out, and same with the English version of Graphite by Closterkeller and The STreet Between Sunrise and Sunset by Satellite, but that's because I work for Nocturnal Hall.

Do you just hook up with the label that releases the album?

My Damnation promo is similar to your Still Life promo in regards to lacking any information.

They MAYH promo is even less interesting - it's the original cd and original booklet in a soft plastic case .. so anyone could actually make themselves a MAYH Promo!

It all depends... if you run a radio show, write for a magazine, or something like that you can usually write to the label and request promos of upcoming releases. If you're just a ragular joe on the street, they come up on eBay a lot.
