I own many that sound really really good. One label's promos that sound particularly great are the impulse LP's from the 60's and 70's. The promos tend to be thinner but often they sound clean, spacious, and very well detailed. For example, my promo copy of Pharoah Sanders "Elevation" is a fantastic sounding record that I love dearly. My copy of John Coltrane's "Meditations" is another I listen to about once a week.
Ever had a "Promotional Copy" surprise your ears?
"One man's junk is another man's treasure".
Tell me what "Promotional Copy, Not For Resale" freebie you were given that was unfamiliar to you that became a regular in your rotation.
Mine is The Sir Douglas Band--Texas Tornado.
This hand me down led to 4 more Sir Douglas Band/Quintet LP's that I really like; as well as turned me on to a new style of Texas/Louisiana swing/rock I had not heard before.
Anyone else discover new music in this manner?
