Promotional Cd's: a brief introduction.

My aim when I collect promo Cd's is as always have just the better and fun editions, I'm not like some collectors that once they have one thing they feel obligated to have everything! I'm sorry but I don't take that ride. I just want to have those promo Cd's who have different details on the sleeves in comparison with the singles, the ones with interviews, different song versions like the Wicker Man USA promo Cd etc. For instance, I have the ultra rare USA promo Cd, "The Fugitive", not because is a promo but because of the details on the cover and the marvelous interview, I love to hear interviews. I'm not the kind of collector that buys things just to put it on a shelf and that's it! I love to touch things and hear them. There are yet some 7 promo Cd's missing in my collection but with time I will buy them.I really hope you enjoy this part, I've listed by chronological order and added the category numbers so you guys can know better when you buy a copy.
Because this is a blog, we can't have sections, so , what I must create in advance the posts, then when I have them I just come here and type the text and put some photos, it must be like this, on the contrary it would be very confusing and difficult for you guys to follow. Doing by this method all the promo Cd's are all together.

Promotional Cd's: Holy Smoke 1990 USA promo Cd. Different back cover from the Single.


USA promo Cd to promote the New 1990 album, No Prayer For The Dying. Its an interesting Cd with a completely different back cover in comparison with the single.
Just one track, the first single "Holy Smoke".

Promotional Cd's: The Fugitive 1992 USA promo Cd. Has 20 minute interview with Bruce plus 2 tracks.




This fantastic USA promotional Cd, in my opinion is the best of all ever made. The sleeve has so many and funny details, there is even a reference of the battle of Hastings that the Brits lost for the French's in 1066. You must read it with attention and have a good fun and laugh with it. The cd itself is funny 'cause it has 2 guys running, probably from Eddie, eehehh!! Also, a great black and white promo photo with the band.
Tracks are: "The Fugitive" and "Roll Over Vic Vella", which I think is a conversation between Steve and long time friend and roadie since the start, Vic Vella. It was this guy that used to drive the boys on the first Iron Maiden tour van, The Green Goddess ( that was the name of the van) on the early days, 1977 until 1979. The CD ends with a great and very interesting interview with Bruce Dickinson along 20 minutes.Its funny that Iron Maiden since 1990, don't sell much in the States, but it is there where they produce the best promo Cd's, sometimes they are much better than the single releases.See the pictures and enjoy it!
