My best guess is these are made in Belgium. If so, then i'm sure they are cd-rs. And i must admit i like the creations a lot, but will not buy, and certainly not for those prices.
Some info just isn't right, take the 'Other Ppeople's Lives' for instance. The page mentions this disc was given to radio stations... Of course not! Why would the band, management or marketing company give a disc with bonus tracks to radio stations?
Still i like the art etc.

I will not buy them either. Don't like them anymore, and many of the mixes are not official releases....but I guess you already know :-)

I find it quite annoying they pretend that they are promos, makes me wonder if the JT TTP ones he has are real or bootleg.

To the unsuspecting buyer (I wasn't going to say "fans" or "collectors" because hopefully we all know better) they will probably look like official promos. The artwork for the TWA singles - in keeping in line with the album / promo designs - is good, same goes for the sticker....but the insert on the back is just pure laziness. I believe all the remixes on those CDs are from official promos, etc. But the later you get with releases (anything from the AYNIN period) they become a bit dodgier.

I especially like the Aoki mix, which looks like hardly 10 minutes work to create the disc and sleeve.

Really hope that everyone here knows that these offered promos are NOT official!

Why would the band, management or marketing company give a disc with bonus tracks to radio stations? I know this was posted a while ago, and while I agree with your point on this item, it's not unheard of for bands to slip b-sides and unreleased tracks onto promo releases. As a collector of other bands, and someone who worked shortly in a radio station, I've seen promo-only releases that have had tracks that were never released to the public for sale. I don't understand that practice, and I find it frustrating as a fan, but it has happened.

I didn 't know that. But still strange... But i know for a fact these are not official. Unfortnuately someone i know bought a few and he found out he got scre*ed as these were not official.
