konsonant Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Maybe somebody here can help out with some info on this Face To Face - Disconnected 12" test/white label promo. It's a one-sided EP and it's definitely a German pressing. But to my knowledge there was never a regular release of this EP in this form. My guess is that the record company handling the German release of the Big Choice album just pressed a bunch of these as promos. The matrix etchings are as follows: Side A: 45 UPM / FTF 001-A / SST Side B: LEERRILLEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefwahoo Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Another user on the board recently came across one of these. I'd never seen one in 15 years of collecting this band and now there's two within a few months. Anyways, the whole thing reeks of bootleg to me, not just because I'm mildly jealous I don't have one.

konsonant Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 I think that's the same copy the other guy was posting about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konsonant Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 Sorry then. I thought the other guy was pointing to a copy that went on auction a couple of months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konsonant Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 The German branch of Metronome belongs to Universal as does A&M who did the US re-release of "Big Choice" in 1995. Based on the matrix etchings and the sticker I would guess that this was never intended as a real release but that they just pressed a bunch to promote the Big Choice album in Germany.

x43x Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 It definitely has the look of a promo release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely sounded staged to me but that's pretty funny. Perhaps it was a reenactment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burntwolf Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 he said one of the engineers hit 'record' while they were talking in the studio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
