Someday At Christmas promotional cd

[massimo]

As our site states, this is a cd-r. I recently menaged to get one and I'd like to be sure to have aquired the original and not a sorta of home made cd...
So, the cd looks withe with:

PEARL JAM
"Someday At Christmas"
2:35

printed or silkscreened in the face's cd, on the spine there's a number a sorta of matrix that reads 2H55E0312080. on the reverse side 80 PG1200

Can someone that own it double check and post here some difference? thx

Sorry Massimo, havent managed to find one of these yet, but I would be interested to find out too??

they sure didnt look too official on ebay, but then again they sold for some serious cash at first, and I'm sure it'll have been people on here, as we are the only ones daft enough

over to you Bushleaguer!!!

I had a doubt and I asked here... but seems to be legit..

Yeah, Sams number really helps with that, unless he got from same place??

can anyone trace these to the label?

[Megadave]

no, Sam has bought it from a different seller....yeah,it seems to be legit...and another copy was sold 3/4 months ago...bought from a ebay-user that i think he isn't a forum's member

This discussion got me thinking about this promo and when I reviewed my listing on pjcollectors I realized that it should not have the yellow epic sleeve in the photo because this was made after PJ left Sony/Epic. The very first one of these that I saw years ago was listed with the sleeve so I always assumed that it was originally distributed that way. But that same promo was sold by a record store well known for getting hold of entire collections from record executives. I'm sure it was put in the yellow sleeve for storage after the fact. Anyway, I revised the listing to show only the disc as it was most likely distributed in a generic thin-style CD-R plastic case. As for the legitimacy of the recent copies that have surfaced, due to the fact that these have been sold by several different sellers and the type of CD-R used seems to match the more recent promo issues, I believe these to all be authentic.

But for those of you who don't have a copy, I can say these are all fake to make you feel better.
