Sorry, not talking about yet another bonus track... I noticed some autions of PURPLEHAZE1985 on ebay. I think all promos are homemade, can you please put your collectors eyes on it as well please? All buy now for prices too good to be true if it were authentic ones.
Thanks a lot!
Best regards, Peter

I'd say FAKE! Why? Well, he has a 4 track promo of Falling Down and there never was a 4 track CD issued. Methinks he's trying to cash in on the Duran craze at the moment. Anyone can press these sort of CDs up at home.

Have bought from him before and was a genuine Duran Promo Acetate, was very happy with it and saw some other big duran buyers had left positive feedback...

Well the 4 track Falling Down promo triggered me actually. Plus the fact that he/she has 2 pieces of each item.
I will pass bidding on these i will leave them for someone else.
Best regards, Peter

Anyone can press these sort of CDs up at home. There are 3 UK promo CDr of Falling Down : 1 track, 4 tracks and 8 tracks ! I think this seller is serious.

I've never seen the 1 or 4 track listed for sale, seen them in the discography or even mentioned here before. The 4 track is a fake. It's always been the 8 track remix CD and a 2 track promo.

to redmumba, 4-track RCA CD-R do exists and I have it. Purchased the days when Falling Down was heavily promoted from a reliable source.
to jolea, some of this person items do looks exactly like real promos, but the hard thing is to define which promo has been made by PR agency and which one at home (PC plus printer). The latest promo trend is cheap looking (hence the cost of production is very affordable for the band's management or PR agency), so it's easy to replicate it at home with proper skills.

I was about to buy now the 6-cd promo set of the second singles box but some litttle voice inside me refused... I think it's a bit obvious to have three different promos up on ebay and having two copies of each....
It's easy making money this way now the hype is flaming again and indeed easy to reproduce i'd say, even without having knowledge of graphics or whatsoever.
Anyways, got loads of time on my hands here to examine the offered promos (and other objects).
Best regards, Peter
