Looks like it was different from the ones that were on sale to the public Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Why do the cases of promo discs always have a hole pubch (or whatever that is) in the corner like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estrangedtwat Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 The hole punch is through the bar code, rendering it unreadable, therefore unsellable. Promo copies are supposed to be for promotion only, and not for sale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) Anyone know how many of the Red Hand CD's were sold on ebay, discogs, etc? Were there (legit) copies that didn't come from the original seller? ('Media Guy' or something like that).

Gordon Comstock Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I wonder if @troccoli knows roughly how many of these are floating around... he seems like the guy to ask about rare GNR items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, many of us wonder how many of these are out there. The first one I had ever seen in someone's hands came directly from a band member. The next one I recall was sold at Amoeba records in LA. There have been a few sold there over the years it seems. Most seem to be on eBay now and then. That's where I bought my 6. I would conservatively guess that there is at least 50 of these out there. Whenever I see ones for sale it's hard to know if it's a previously unknown copy or someone selling one they had purchased previously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've guessed there's between 50-100 'known' copies out there but always wondered if anyone actually knows. I got mine from media guy a few years ago, when the price had dropped a lot and they weren't quite as scarce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
