Thought I should put this one in the proper thread

Hello all Hayley "promo CD" collectors,

Here is some not-so-good news for you. From this week's UK Music Week:

Sony switch puts the promo CD in jeopardy
By Ben Cardew

THE END OF THE PROMOTIONAL CD could be imminent,with record labels signalling their intentions to abandon physical promos despite opposition from many in the media. Sony Music last week made waves when it announced that it was to switch its focus to a digital E-card system for the distribution of promotional music from May 1.

Sony already uses this system for certain releases, accompanied by physical promos, but Sony UK chairman and CEO Ged Doherty revealed in an email to contacts that the major will be phasing out the mailing of physical stock at the same time. “Digital promo is set to become an industry standard as other major and independent music companies also make the switch,” Dohertywrites.

Cheers, Dave

Hello everyone

This morning my 133rd Hayley CD dropped through my letterbox in the shape of an 11 track promo copy of "Hayley Sings Japanese Songs 2" i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

The very nice folded insert came in a clear plastic 'slimline' jewel case with the CD itself in a cute CD shaped plastic sleeve.

Couldn't resist leaving the CD in its protective sleeve i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Got it for a very good price too!!

Best wishes
Grant

Nice one Grant.....

This came in today,
not realy a promoalbum, but a promo foam board from Hong Kong, to promote Hayley's Winter Magic Album.



The foamboard is sized 20 x 30 cm.

Hi Joyce

Yes! I am very pleased with it. Have several of those promo boards, but haven't seen a "Winter Magic" one yet.

Best wishes

Hey everyone! Anybody got any new "Paradiso" promos? Or just some others that we haven't seen yet? It's been a while since I heard about any...

For the record this one deserves a place in this thread.



Pun intended

is it CAR or CDR on the disc, I mark discs CAR when I intend them as a CAR copy, ie. one I keep in the car .

"ORIGINAL RUNNING ORDER" does that mean they knew they intended to change the running order, or had already changed the running order and wanted a copy of the original running order, I am so easily confused

Hello Paul!

I've moved your two posts above to this thread and corrected the titles. They refer to promotional albums, not singles.

That just proves it.
I am easily confused.

Now ! Traffic lights, what does the red one mean ?

Well, long story short: I found these cool presentations for some of Hayley's albums on the Universal Hong Kong Site, and I thought they were really cool! I know they aren't promo CD's, but I couldn't find a better place to put them unless I posted each in it's own respective thread. So, here they are:

I also got a new pic that I'd never seen before from treasure, and a higher quality one from the HSJS 2 booklet:
