"The Bootleg Series Vol. 8 - Tell Tale Signs: Rare And Unreleased 1989-2006" - 3CD-R/CD promo sets: Sony Music SDCI 80657-9 (Japan), Aug/Sep 2008:
 Sony Music SDCI 80657 (Japan) - detail of promo CD-R1, scan by Wil Gielen (first copy) |
The first promo 3CD-R set comes in jewel cases with folded
front inserts dated "2008/08/11" (11 Aug 2008), there are no rear inserts.
The CD-Rs are blank and just have handwritten information round the clear
centres. The title is misspelled "Tell Tale Sings" on the inserts and all
three discs! This set was intended solely for internal use within Sony Music
Japan and only a few copies were produced. The second promo 3CD set also
comes in jewel cases, this time without any inserts. The title is again
misspelled "Tell Tale Sings" on all three discs. It was accompanied by an
11-page press kit in English and Japanese on pink paper. This gets the album
title correct! The existence of these sets is surprising since the 3CD
Deluxe Expanded Edition was not eventually released in Japan, although it
was given a catalogue number of Sony Music SICP 1990-92
and a release date of 22 Oct 2008. There is also a 2CD promo set of the edition that was released with
just discs SDCI 80657 and SDCI 80658. Thanks to Hervé from France and Wil Gielen for information and pictures. |
