Questions about some promotionals releases

[yseilys (dead)]

Hi

Glad to see the forum come back 



I have some questions... since the forum closing I bought some memorabilias and Promo CD...


1: The Best Of 1980 1990 Helmet Box Set.



I have inside the Plastic Helmet and the promo U.K best of in double cardboard sleeves...
Others collectors told me a metal helmet exist too and some box comes with Commercial double Best of (with promo sticker) or without CD...
Can someone confirm me that?


2: Mini Trabant.



It seems the official colours about them are White / Black / Green / Red / Orange / Grey / Blue
I already see all of them (I can up pics)


3: Please (U.K Promo CD) [CIDDJ673].



Bought one last month,

01  Please (USA Single Edit)
02  Please (Song Hook)

2 Tracks wrote on the back cover and CD artwork... But CD play 1 only, no "Song Hook" version on.

I know another friend who have this misspress version too.
Someone else have it?

On that Please CD you have:  could you please check the pressing number on the underside of the CD?  The matrix?  If you turn it upside down you should be able to see it around the center.  And then if anyone has the version with the song hook if they could report theres as well?  Just wondering if there's a difference there that could identify these....

My versions are all the US promos i'm afraid so can't check this one out

Hi Yseilys,

I have the same version of Please. It says 2 tracks on the back, but only one in my cd-player. The matrix number matches your copy. So no song-hook on this one.

However, I also have a US three track version of please, which does play the song-hook. Perhaps you already have it.
Tracklisting is as follows:
1 Please (single edit) (3.47)
2 Please (single version) (5.47)
3 Please (song hook) (0.13), although in my cd-player it's only about 0.10.

The color of this cd itself is different from the one you have posted, it's red (with black) instead of yellow (with black).

Matrix number = PRC D76 792 RE1 01%
