it is my understanding that "promotional" copies are supplied free by the record companies as pre-release review copies. the are given to records ahead of release dates so they can place advance orders. the media gets them ahead of
release date for review purposes.since they are supplied free the stores arent supposed to "sell" them at retail prices to the public since the store didnt actually *buy* them from a wholesaler. thats why they can offer them at discount prices. sean deason W Lammerts wrote: > What does this actually mean?
