Knives promo disc?

[Travisx2112]

I bought a Knives Dont Have Your Back promo disc off of eBay this morning and I'm wondering if anyone can give me some info on it?

Here's the info from the eBay bid. Is it real or did I get ripped off? What's it for? I'm assuming radio stations and the like, and released before the record went out to the general public?

"This is the RARE 2006 release from EMILY HAINES.

This item is a Limited Advance CD and contains 11 tracks.

Issued without artwork / CD only.

***Reference Disc***

***Not Available In Stores!***"

That's exactly what it is. I've never understood the point in buying them, in that they're essentially the album minus any artwork. I was considering buying that if it had City Of Night on it, but it doesn't appear to.

Thanks for the clarification!

I don't know, I'd say Gerard's right. They usually do, and sometimes if you're lucky, they'll have special mixes or artwork. A good chunk of the promos we get are in a plastic sleeve with no artwork at all. Or they have a single piece of paper with the artwork on the front and some notes on the inside (that's how Jason Collett's and the Mynabirds were).

I have a promo copy of Knives that the management sent me before its release, and it's just a CD in a carton cover... nothing amazing about it!

Though I think I have the european version of the promo disc, so there are more songs on it, but because of that I don't think the versions of the songs are different or have a different mixing! I haven't listened to it in years actually as I have my "real" Knives record!
