Next would probably be my CD test pressing for a supposedly never released "US B-sides" collection (not a CDR, but a blank CD, got it in the early'90s - 6 or 7 years before the same compilation was released by the "Russian Fan Club" with the goofy Union of the Snake man" artwork), and never have looked into whether it's legit, but don't care, especially at the time I got it! At that time I'd never heard several of the songs (Faith in This Colour - Original Slow Version, Interlude 1 (Slowed back down to original speed), This is How a Road Gets Made, God (London), and Grey Lady of the Sea), and had none on CD at that time! I can still remember my eyes nearly popping out of my head as each song played (there wasn't even a tracklist). I found it in a tiny little ad in one of those old record collecting newspaper-style publications, paid $30 plus $5 shipping (best $$ I've ever spent on a Duran item). EDIT: It's been confirmed to me that this item was not in fact a Capitol test pressing (also it came out in '96...so much for my memory). Oh well, like I said, it is still one of my favorites, still rare I think, and worth every penny! ;D I also have a blanc cd, which is supposed to be a test pressing with the b-sides. It is packed together with the wedding album category number TOCP-7230. So it's a double cd in fact. I bought a whole collection from someone recently, and the seller told me that this was a promo cd, and the testpressing comes with it? He sold me alot of nice and good stuff (for very little money) but this is the only cd i am doubting about, if it's real or not. Reading above's message, probably it isn't? Although... I see you mention God, and that track is not on my cd.. I do see the grey lady of the sea on the tracklist, which makes it a bit suspicious for me.... the cd does have a matrix number: 29413-2 mo y7774n ifpi l243 y-1-1-1# maybe it sais something? Anybody knows? Edit: it looks like I do have this one: eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=71578But is it right that it comes with the Japanese wedding Album? It is more than likely another unofficial CD. Why would Capitol include a solo track by Simon? That'd be like a CD compilation for Genesis having the odd Phil Collins track.

Hard to say, but I think this is one of my treasure. Printed on label, that it should be destroyed

That's what makes me doubt as well, but the fact that this song was released in Japan, and it comes with a Japanese release makes sense.. The fact i am able to find a bit of this on the net is nice, but not satisfying enough, so probably you're right.

I won a print on DDM, from the 2005 or 6 calendar, signed by Nick. Its a limited edition 1 of 1!
Apart from that I've 3 Denis O'Regan prints from Sing Blue Silver that I bought years ago that I'm still quite keen on. Apart from that, some signed setlists that I snagged, and hung around to get signed. Pretty boring really, but I kinda dig em!
