Item is in mint condition. It is made in limited supply and not sold to the public. Radio stations get a CD like this usually before it is officially released so these are considered collectible.

If item is listed as a promo CD it may have a small slit or hole in the jewel case or if there is a bar code it may be marked through. These cuts are made by the record company to prevent store returns of retail copies of the disk. The disk itself is never affected.

Promo CD singles may not include inserts and may be considered an ACETATE CD. Photos in this listing are of the actual item being sold.

I do not make these. They come direct from the record company.

If you do not know about promotional recordings or what an ACETATE CD is then read the following from Wikipedia. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promotional_recording)

A promotional recording, or promo, is an audio or video recording distributed for free, usually in order to promote a recording that is or soon will be commercially available. Promos are normally sent directly to broadcasters, such as music radio and television stations, and to tastemakers, such as DJs and music journalists, in advance of the release of commercial editions, in the hope that airplay, reviews, and other forms of exposure will result and stimulate the public's interest in the commercial release.

Promos are often distributed in plain packaging, without the text or artwork that appears on the commercial version. Typically a promo is marked with some variation of the following text: "Licensed for promotional use only. Sale is prohibited." It may also state that the promo is still the property of the distributor and is to be returned upon demand." However, it is not illegal to sell promotional recordings,[1] and recalls of promos are extremely rare and unenforced.[2]

Because promos are produced in smaller quantity than releases made available to the general public,

they are sometimes considered valuable collectors' items. They are never intended for sale in record stores.

Sale of this item is specifically allowed under the copyright laws of the United States {17 USC 109(a)} which states that

"the owner of a particular copy or phonorecord lawfully made...is entitled, without the authority of the copyright owner,

to sell or otherwise dispose of possession of the copy or phonorecord".
