Some of the Rasberries Best-Of were sold through record clubs, and a white
sleeve promo copy was sent out to reviewers and radio stations..Now and
then it
pops up for sale on E-bay. Just be careful about paying high prices for
this CD
- some are bootleg CD-R copies.
I have a CD-R copy of the promo. The only cavet is that the 4 demo tracks are
rough quality but are very interesting. "Tonight:" started out as a mock
country number called "Oh Tonight" that is drastically different than the
released classic version. Sad this CD never hit the retail shelves, same for
domestic reissues of the 4 original albums.
