I need to be your friend.

Just received a copy of this new promo sampler. I think it's to promote the remastered editions of the albums now that they've been released individually?



And the back:


It's also worth noting that the track listing on the back is completely inaccurate...I'd heard it was, so I played it through to verify, and sure enough, it's a different set of songs altogether. How odd!

Those promo photos are fantastic!
The one with George Formby in the background is one of my favourite Morrissey photos.

Recent purchases of the last few days:

[Aly]

Stoned, I love your collection of Peel Sessions CDs! That's a full set there, isn't it? I'm still missing the two French ones, unfortunately...

Those promo photos are fantastic!
The one with George Formby in the background is one of my favourite Morrissey photos.

It's one of my favourites too, actually. All the pictures from that session are lovely - one of my old favourite magazine posters was a colour version without the Formby poster in the background.

What's the "In Heat" CD, though? A factory pressed bootleg?

Recent purchases of the last few days:

Nice buys, scabbycoco! Well done. That Sweet and Tender Hooligan 12" is still on my own want list, though fortunately a number of copies have been listed on eBay recently. *crosses fingers*



Just arrived this morning: Girlfriend in a coma 12" in mispressed grey sleeve.

[Irregular Regular]

User Cornflakes has put together an excellent compilation of live recordings, and also produced some really nice artwork for it.





It's available in the downloads section of the forum, you should get this. It's very good!

Congratulations on your grey girlfriend by the way...

[scabbycoco]

Nice buys, scabbycoco! Well done. That Sweet and Tender Hooligan 12" is still on my own want list, though fortunately a number of copies have been listed on eBay recently. *crosses fingers*

Thanks for your comment :-) Good Luck with ebay! I bought mine from a french website (priceminister), price was a bit high, but I felt so good to receive this one in the mail, now I can concentrate on other stuffs like promos and so on :-)

[Stoned]

Sweet & Tender Hooligan white plastic sleeve cd, still sealed.
Cheers Moz

You're very welcome... and it's an official release from Indonesia. I happen to love cassette releases and they were among the few things I opted to keep (I had two copies of this one).

Cheers Tom, I love cassettes too.
The reason I was hesitant about the origin is that I also own this Indonesian cassette, and I thought this was the official release (unless there are 2 versions?).



Stephane, are you able to shed any light?
