APPENDIX CDR Issues PINK FLOYD CD DISCOGRAPHY PINK FLOYD CD DISCOGRAPHY APPENDIX CDR Issues Since 1999 a large number of promo CDs was released as Apart from that, the data on the CDR can be destroyed and CDRs (recordable CD). Especially in the USA, as promo or vanish already after five years. This is caused by the radio CD, but in the meantime also in Europe, Australia and structure of the CDR and there is no way to prevent it. Japan a lot of promotional CDs were available as CDRs. This discography lists the known promotional CDR editions Some are provided with industrial made artwork, others only in the Appendix. But without providing any guarantee were completely without artwork or have plain photocopies that all listings are official and legitimate editions. or printed supplements. It is difficult to proof the authenticity of these editions because producing printed CDRs is easy and inexpensive for most PC users today. Examples of CDR promos with industrial made cardboard sleeves. Examples of CDR promos with printed inserts. Rather dubious are those CDRs that are labelled by handwriting, do not have a special printing or only come with photocopied artwork. But not all of these CDRs are fakes as some promo-editions on CDR have been confirmed as original material by the record companies. The rule of the thumb is: If a CDR has a printed label, an industrially produced artwork or appropriate stickers one can be almost sure that it is an official edition and not a fake. Copies of an album were sometimes found on CDR as so called "acetates". "Acetate" is known from the vinyl technology but does not refer to the production of the CD. They are CDRs produced before the actual pressing and were exclusively used for sound checks. It might be possible that "acetates" really are test CDs but it cannot be proofed. Two examples of so-called ‘Acetates’. Many sellers describe the CDRs generally as ‘Acetate’. To protect themselves from fakes, many collectors usually avoid CDR issues. Warning: All collectors should be careful when buying CDR-promos. They are currently standard promo-releases from most labels, but - unfortunately - also very easy to fake. I will not and cannot be held resposible for the content in this part of the discography, despite much effort in order to prevent that faked CDRs are included.
