I have to wonder if that EU promo is legit. The track length is 3:47, so even if it's real that may just be the album version. I'm hoping that they will make the video mix available for download on U2.com.
Will keep my eyes open for more promos, though.
I've been told those EU promos are probably not legit by a friend who was able to confirm for me that the UK promo of EBW, and the French promos of Joey Ramone and EBW are quite legit. That hasn't been confirmed though.
But if you look at them there's lots of reason to doubt them.
1. CDR, with many of them misspelling the rights society (STEMRA spelt STERMA) - after this spelling error was pointed out the same promos started showing up again with the corrected spelling. Record labels don't correct things...
2. Shoddy punch out paper for the covers - looks like a do it yourself kit.
3. So far nothing but album versions.
4. Joey Ramone / Invisible showed up first. Then EBW showed up with the album cover with the name of the album printed into the cover...when the cover art came out for that single it quickly replaced that promo.
5. Nothing but album mixes. Including EBW, which was different on the UK promo which i'm told was legit.
6. After all of the above came out suddenly out came an Ordinary Love promo? Almost a year after the song was out? Doesn't make a lot of sense.
7. Instead of the typical single slimline jewel case, these are coming in the type you typically get with blank CDRS.
8. If you look on eBay almost all of these came from the same two sellers in the UK initially. They only show up from other sellers after a while of being sold by the same two initial sellers (both based in the UK btw)
Perhaps there are legitimate copies out there that someone has been copying to make these others from?
