Is this for real?.Maybe its a promo for the guitar thing.

This is a real radio promo. Apparently some radio stations received a watermarked download (via Play MPE), others got this cd.
It hasn’t been confirmed if this is a cd-r or a silver cd. I think it’s a cd-r. The \"slim case\" looks just like the ones that come with cd-rs, and nothing like the cd cases they normally use for singles or promos.
My guess: cd-r + front insert, nothing more
I find it a bit weird that it is sealed and that it has such a sticker though…I also think more of these will come on eBay later, so I’m not going to bid on this expensive first one.

Quicker than we thought…. #2!!!
It looks the same as the other even though it says french. Probably all the same since there is no record label attached to the release (worldwide).

How rare it is depends on how many copies they make.
But maybe this is what you’re trying to say: This promo is more interesting than any other recent promo, because the song can’t be found anywhere else (yet). More people will want it, because they want GLOW on cd.
Compare that to a one-track promo cd for Tarantula or That’s the Way: only collectors are interested in those. People who want those songs on cd can buy or have bought Zeitgeist. They don’t see the point in buying the song again on a promo cd.If GLOW would get a proper cd release, on a European single, or on a compilation cd somewhere, for example, I’m sure interest in this particular promo cd (cd-r?) will drop.
-
I think GLOW will be released as a European single.I think im going to try my luck on that frenchy one there.Aint going to bid much though.
Wonder how much people paid for a Tarantula promo cd when it first came out ? bought the EU/USA promos for a dollar each 10 months later after the official release date.

I hope so.
The extremely high price for the first one might convince more people to put their copy on eBay. (People who don’t want to go to the trouble for $5, but that are interested in a possible $100.) This would be a good thing for us, the buyers. Because the more copies on eBay, the cheaper the price will be.

Yes but what hapened if less than 50 copies were "pressed" ? Perhaps it’s very limited ?[/quote:1lbqz7q1]
that would surprise me, because two of them are already on ebay. and one of them is in america, the other one is in france. so these were probably sent out to people in america and europe, and who knows where.it’s not impossible, but it seems unlikely that this promo is very limited.
i have more reasons to think this, but i don’t feel like typing them all out. -

i hope this song is worth $250 US dollars all together to him.

the guy is a true collector and fan: he needs two copies, so he can keep one sealed and listen to the other one.[/quote:11bnkz39]
Another popped up and guess whos bidding again on the 3th one lmao. Mister Eiffel.The fuck he wants with 3 Glow cds.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi … %26ps%3D42
Ill wait until he bought his copy number 10 before i bid on this promo.We all get it sooner or later.
-
we will all have our copy in the end, there are another three on ebay already, wonder what the value of this item will be in the end, I reckon $20-30, only a guess though.
The australian version of thats the way cd promo, is already rarer, I have only seen 4 copies of that for sale on ebay![/quote:3rwn913q]
The AU promo of Thats the way is worth 50 dollars or so and the price of this item keeps going up.I own a copy of it, paid 75 bucks for it, maybe a little to much, but as you said, theres only been a very few of these on ebay.Ive only seen 2 of those so far and its pretty rare.
-
I think it’s a dangerous evolution that people are paying this much for cd-r promos. It makes it very inviting for people to start creating their own \"promos\".

Yeah i noticed it says Smashing Pumkins.To be honest i think this one is real enough, just a person who had a hard time spelling it right.
The Rose March has been playing in Danish radiostations a while back, i just remembered it, so i think its real enough.

He’s being selfish and greedy with G.L.O.W. promos…[/quote:3dxg0k3g]
Cant he wait being greedy and selfish untill all SPfreaks members own a copy each ?
[/quote:3dxg0k3g]hehe, he should
i just don’t understand why he needs them all.
who the hell wants every copy of one thing to go up on ebay? i wonder if he thinks he can resell them or something?
oh, and do you notice gumby-theater has as billion copies. that seems to be the main seller putting them up. or at least they have put up more than one already.

i have a feeling that gumby theater and eiffel are the same person. hes driving up his own auctions.[/quote:1hqfecu4]
Maybe, why would this Eiffel dude then bid on the others Glow cds ?[/quote:1hqfecu4]
you’re right. i didnt realize there were different sellers. maybe this guy just really really likes the song and wants to have it playing in every room of his house so wherever he goes he can always be listening to it.

thats a good though, but none of it makes sense because there are a couple other sellers. he must be up to something though because nobody need that many.
and it looks like his one feedback is from 2005 maybe?
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d … world=trueso where is the feedback from all the GLOWs?
-
I personally think the Rose March is a fake. The copy on SPfreaks and the copy I own have different matrix numbers. Why would that be?[/quote:h81jae2n]
Why would it be fake since the song was a regular on the Danish radiostations.
What matrix code are on yours ?[/quote:h81jae2n]’I’m not home right now, but can hopefully look into this early next week.

The thing is, we have no idea how rare this is. All I know is that copies of the promo cd appeared simultaneously in the US and in Europe (one of the promo cds was sold from France). And that some radio stations received this single as a download (PlayMPE).
One thing points in the direction of a widespread promo (all over the world). The other thing might indicate that only a couple of radio stations received the cd (and the rest got the download).
I personally find it just a bit weird that most of the promo cds on eBay were sold to the same person, usually for an unreasonable amount of money. Especially if you consider that this person already has several copies of this promo. This makes little sense to me.
