Golden Age - TV on the Radio

The first release from the latest TV on the Radio album 'Dear Science' is Golden Age. Sadly this is just a digital release, no 7" or CD available to buy. However, the promo comes to our rescue and this is the only physical source for this song. As ever, this promo comes in the ubiquitous plastic wallet with a single sided piece of artwork. The CD itself is a single track CD-R. This has the track and band name, 4AD logo and promo only text. No cat number is present on either the CD or the artwork.

  1. Golden Age

Breeders Mountain Battles Promo

Finally got hold of a copy of the latest Breeders album promo. This comes in the generic promo sleeve first seen last year. Unfortunately my copy comes with a plugging sticker plastered on the front which spoils it a bit, but never mind!

The promo has the same tracks and in the same order as on the commercial release. The CD itself is a CD-R, which has the bands name, album title and promo blah on the silver disc. No cat number is printed on the CD but the cover has the code CAD 2803WMCD (one of the early watermarked copies). Tracks are:

  1.  Overglazed
  2. Bang On
  3. Night of Joy
  4. We're Gonna Rise
  5. German Studies
  6. Spark
  7. Istanbul
  8. Walk It Off
  9. Regalame Esta Noche
  10. Here No More
  11. No Way
  12. It's The Love
  13. Mountain Battles

It Hugs Back - Work Day

The two track CD-R promo from It Hugs Back comes in a plastic wallet with front and back artwork. I presume its the same as the 7" release. The CD-R does not have a catalogue number but does have the tracks printed onto the white CD front. Tracks are:

  1. Work Day
  2. Take Part
The band have also made a video for the record.

The Breeders - Bang On Promo

This promo is for Bang On released 8/9/2008. This promo is a single track CD-R, which comes in the usual plastic wallet. The front artwork just shows the bands name inside a rounded pill shape very similar to that on the Mountain Battled CD artwork. The reverse of the cover has quotes from the Observer and NME plus a short list of festivals and places where the band are playing in August and early September 2008. The track is:

  1. Bang On

Department of Eagles Promo

This promo is a two track affair which I think is due to be a 7" release sometime soon. This particular promo is again a CD-R, but this time text is printed directly onto the silver front. There is no catalogue number but the CD-R does come in a plastic wallet with a single piece of artwork. Tracks are:

  1. No One Does It Like You
  2. Too Little Too Late

  3. Scraping Past
  4. River Card
The promo comes in the usual plastic sleeve with art work front and back. The disc itself is a white CD-R, with track listing and the words 'Radio Sampler' on it.
