Peculiar...today I bought a cardboard slipcase single of Men in Black, it's listed as a promo copy having one track, however any time I've seen this single referenced it's included "You Never Heard About Me" "Pray A Little Faster" and "Announcement". Does anyone else have this copy?
Also when I bought it the guy was amazed to see it reach the register as it had apparently been there since 1996...it was only $3.
--- Okay, so until next time, who put the 'ween' in Halloween? I don't know, probably you, you freakin' weirdo. |

Well, I know that sometimes artist send out copies to radio stations and stuff, and they usually have just one track. |

Yeah, that's definitely a radio copy. That's also why it says it's a promo copy. It wasn't even meant to make it to a store.

I also own this Men In Black promo. I aquired it through my old cd business. Not every promo copy is meant to go directly to radio stations...in fact, promo copies generally are for record stores. They are also known as 'samplers' and 'in-store play's...the intent to generate interest. These promos are not meant for sale (because as samplers, no money goes to the label) but most indie stores wind up selling them at some point real cheap. But it's always a joy to run into a Frank promo. Other cool one's are Los Angeles, Letter to Memphis (Instrumental) and Bullet.
