Hi, question. Just before the release of Exile there were (I think) 3 promo 7 inches released with a serial starting with SAM. besides that the had a paste-on piece of paper on the yellow label with the song title.

Does anyone know anything about those? The seem to pop up every once in a blue moon.
Do the have alternate mixes? And who on IORR has one?

Cheers,
Marthijn

"SAM Prefix - Warner Bros / WEA promo and bonus discs. Originally used just for promotional items. Some numbers were used for bonus discs with albums, and in some double pack singles (1978-87) the second disc had a SAM prefix. SAM can also be seen on CD, 12" and cassette singles. From 1999 there was a new sequence in format SAM 00*** " - [www.45cat.com] .
