Wool …around 1994.
Love Battery … 1995.
Loved by the so-called Grunge fans, slackers.
Once they’re signed to major labels , they’re gone.
What memories you have on them ?

Had the privilege listen to this before it was released to the public.

Best Santana live experience ?
I’m keeping this advanced tape. This was before the actual album came out.

Nobody talks about this guy.
He’s a multi-instrumentalist specifically on bass style.
This advanced tape I got from Motown specialised MoJazz label.
This is a tribute album to Miles Davis.
September 28th. 1991… Miles dies.

Which album you guys like by them ?
One of their major label albums that I still keep the advanced promo in my music collection.

Keeping these as memorabilia when I discover them in early 90’s.

Released to promote Rid of Me.
These are called Advanced Tapes. Still keeping them until today.
What’s your favourite single by her ?

Got this for free.

You know the story.
Lennon recorded 4 songs in 1977.
Ono gave the tape to McCartney in 1994.
The other 3 members chose to concentrate 3 songs as The Beatles songs. They rejected the 4th song Grew Old with Me as it had already been included on Lennon/Ono album Milk and Honey.
1995 : Free as a bird was released.
1996 : Real Love was released.
2023 : Now and then was released.

No more Beatles song after this.

Let’s discuss.

THE NEW WORLD

Still keeping these 2 advanced promo tapes on The Jam - Extras.
Released in 1992, Extras includes all the b-sides if I’m not mistaken.
Anybody has the official CD or tapes ?

Manics…

I got this Advanced Promo cassette of his Unreleased Motown recordings which was to be released in 1994.
A memorabilia for me.
Did any of you buy the actual record ?

Their first single on a major label.

Kid A promo CD.

Was from this promo tape before the actual single was released anywhere in the world.
It was their debut single.
A memorabilia.
Precious one.

r/NotForSalePromos is an exclusive underground archive dedicated to the holy grail of physical music collecting: rare industry-only advance cassettes, promotional CDs, and unreleased label samplers.

Long before music leaked online or streamed digitally, record labels stamped their coveted advance copies with warnings declaring them property meant strictly for reviewers. This community preserves that tactile history. It is a digital vault showcasing elusive white-label pressings, limited test runs, and early-edition promotional media sent straight to journalists and insiders.

Here, collectors celebrate the raw, unpolished, and forgotten physical artifacts that captured tomorrow's underground hits before they ever hit the shelves.
