PARTY in the Blitz promotion single

#1 Post by telys »

Apparently Party In The Blitz has been released as a promo. Is this the 5th single?

Very funny.
There are not promos of the regular singles and there is a promo of a B-side.

IMO it's a bootleg.

There are many of these bootlegs on Ebay, this one for example:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/126683274262

that are very well done, really.
But NOT official at all.

I came across a lot of them lately. Very well made bootlegs. It's a complete new market for those people who want to "own" the music, instead of having only digital.

I don't see this entry remaining for too long as it violates Discogs submission guideline 1.1.1.

I remember seeing a load of Russian fake promo singles from the Electric era going for a fortune

Yes, it's one of these bootlegs. Very well made, but expensive

This is something I try to report when I see such a trash. Lots of action from Austria and Ukraine on ebay. Cannot understand why these [inappropriate word removed by forum admin] are still active users.
I've been around the world for a number of reasons. I've seen it all the change of seasons, and I, my lord, may I say nothing?

Really? You have to use that word as a form of abuse in this day and age?

Not trying to be 'woke' (hate that word) but really? Read your audience.

I reported these "bootleg sellers" several times on Ebay, without any consequence.

On Discogs it's not possible, as far as I know, to sell unofficial items.

You should be banned for using that awful word

Some of these look marvellous. All the more reason why they should re-release all the singles physically on CD, and include all tracks across all formats. Of particular interest are for tracks that didn't originally appear on CD format:

Opportunities (1985)
West End girls
Love comes quickly
Opportunities (1986)
Suburbia
Yesterday, when I was mad (Euroboy)
Home and dry (Nightlife)
I get along (Friendly fire)
Integral (quasi-single)
Love etc. (We're all criminals now)
Did you see me coming? (Brits medley)
Winner remixes
Leaving (one of the remixes)
Axis (quasi-single)
Fluorescent (quasi-single)
Inner sanctum (quasi-single)
Burning the heather

Yep, the covers definately look really good. I wish they were bonafide releases. And, as said above, it shows how appealing a proper CD-re-release of the singles would be.
But would all releases fit on one disc? I doubt it.

They're good "bootlegs". There's a demand for them. If Parlaphone/PSB themselves actually made these officially available we would buy them, but they don't, so these well made bootlegs fill that hole. I guarantee, GUARANTEE that when the archive project is released digitally (each single, every remix etc) on Spotify, that if an actual tactile physical copy isn't released to co-incide with it then these bootleggers will again fill that gap.
is is and isnt isnt
