Pixies on July 6th. Complete? Errors? Add in your additions. Promos? Let's all get together and post about promos, there's been enough of them that it's easy to lose track. Like, what IS the number for that Hope Blister 2 track promo and has anyone seen a promo Cuba 12" before (CUBA 1, CUBA2)??? Plus, "Duality" exists as a double CD with the same CAD 8004 CD catalogue number that features an edit of "The Human Game" and two non-album tracks. The vinyl of "Fort Lake" is said to include a bonus 7" single too (HNIA 4, perhaps??). Info anyone?? Also, what about unique non-UK items? The frustrating numbered CD single from Lisa Gerrard & Pieter Bourke "The Human Game" (CAD 9000 CD) or the beautifully packaged digipack version of "Strange Angels" from Kristin Hersh (RTD 120.2075.2).
