Promo Pressings

frank: i haven't had my system on this week either. i find it impossible to figure what to play. i'll keep up my collecting, tho. perhaps i'll get out to search through the dwindling number of lp bins. BTW, if you're a paul simon/simon & garfunkle fan, i have some things that might interest you. i bought out the entire collection of a japanese gentleman who was a charter member of the s&g fan club. several "japanese only" box sets and single lp's. great stuff. all first (and only) pressings, equivalent of promos. -kelly

i collect promo pressings, among others, for reasons already noted. the more recent promos are pressed with "quiex" labels. the ones i treasure most are those with interviews between tracks. the very best "graceland" version i own was originally produced as a radio promo for the album, with narratives by paul simon between each cut (it's a 2-lp set). -kelly

frank: i don't have a quiex of rickie lee's eponymous album but i do have a 10" promo quiex of "girl at her volcano," which includes "under the boardwalk." never heard a better exemplar of "dynamics." another quiex promo to look for, BTW, is laurie anderson, "mister heartbreak." is there an lp you're especially looking for that might cause you to part with you quiex "hearts and bones"? -kelly
