you mean that ibadan joint? i think ALL their records that sample
stuff or whatever say that. im not sure if that means its a
bootleg or what. people in the UK do that as well though, i can
remember some 97 era congo natty releases that had a non white
label and said "promo use only" on them. i think that means that
you can have the promos out before actually clearing the samples
or whatever.
