: NON CONVENTIONAL 4AD UK RELEASES :
+----------------------------------+
These releases are UK in origin, and are special editions, promotional
items and freebies...and thus not available through the usual channels.
The qualification for entry is a 4AD catalogue number that is not
duplicated in any of the 4AD mailorder catalogues...this rules out the
more recent label practice of simply handing out pre-release conventional
copies with "promotional use only" stickers on the usual cover.
*** Please send any additions and/or corrections to my e-mail address ***

: Slightly Irritating Stuff... :

As these do not have their own, unique catalogue numbers, it seems
inappropriate to include them in the above list...however there are
differences...If anyone would like to argue the case please do! A full
description would be helpful, as they are different from the conventional
releases in some way...

red background on CD artwork...whole album)

| And Even More Weird.. |

Whether these should be included is up for debate, but seeing as Huite
has been extremely helpful, and the Play It Again Sam Records homepage
is so wonderful, I've included these freebies...
PIAS ordered these freebie CD's from 4AD to be manufactured and included in
initial copies of CD's that they distribute in the Benelux....Belgium, The
Netherlands and Luxembourgh...so are these UK freebies because they were
made by 4AD in the UK, or NOT because they were specifically meant for
distribution in the Benelux?...Catalogue numbers seem tempting...
Belly KING 2 5" freebie CD with initial CAD 5005 CD (PIAS)
(now they'll sleep(demo)/red(demo)/puberty(demo))
Black, Frank BADD407CD 5" freebie CD with initial DAD 4009 CD (PIAS)
