I don't think it was. I remember some guy selling Nightlife back packs on the day of the Brussels concert in 2000. To me it looks like: someone wants to add value to stuff by putting a PSB logo on it.

No, all the Release laptop bags and several other Release 'promo' items were manufactured and sold on ebay at the time by Bernard Dresse from Belgium as real.

Bernard Dresse too. There *is* an official Nightlife rucksack, but Bernard took the liberty too produce a few dozens more.

Just because it's mentioned in the discography, doesn't mean it's official.

Gosh, Bernard Dresse... it's been a long time since I heard of him for the last time.

As well of Thanos, the Greek fan.

I was in contact with Thanos, great PSB fan.
It's a pity I lost the contacts with him, he was very kind with me.
