Buying promos

shimmetry [Edit] [Delete] 22:49, 16 April '15

i used to love finding a promo copy of a record by a favourite band in a record shop, seemed like finding the holy grail. These days M&VE and ebay are overflowing with them. One seller on ebay is selling a joblot of 52 Bella Union promo albums, £10 currently. Is it as bad as illegal downloading? The band don't get a penny and you get a cd in a substandard sleeve, are they worth spending money on?
