This still accomplishes some promotional effect. I can think of several
promo CDs I've bought out of used bins that have then led to my purchase of
new CDs later by the same artist. Considering that the marginal cost of
manufacturing a single CD is pretty small, this looks like a win-win-win-win
situation for artist, record company, record store, and consumer, if the
promo CD is good enough to get me hooked on the artist.

Umm, that's only 8 records. Peter Brotzmann's son Caspar has worked with,
among others, Einstuerzende Neubauten's F.M. Einheit.
