I expect that's the case with radio promo CDs, but as it's been noticed, the various kinds of copy-protected CDs are often mislabelled or are released in mixed batches. Not every label produces a radio-only version of the CD - maybe they'll have to in future. One of the hypocrisies of the RIAA et al is they actually do believe in giving away free music - when it suits them, even at considerable expense to the labels. Anyone reviewing or playing music for a living gets bombarded with thousands of free CDs, of which most go direct to the second-hand store. Cheers Daniel
