I hate when there is a lack of photos on ebay auctions. No pic of the damn CD, just the card sleeve. Lame. I'm about to ask for more pictures.

I already did.

Sigh at this being posted here. Going to be harder for me to win now.

It's okay, I nearly posted it myself, but then got all Golem "my precious" about it and decided to keep quiet. It's hard to put a value on it at this stage though, for all we know there could be loads of these that will become available, or perhaps hardly any at all.

Physical release 24/06, Digital release 23/06.

I wonder what else will be on there.

Good question! Maybe it will come out on an EP

Perhaps it's a typo, a 6 instead of 5. After all the single came out on the 23rd. If it isn't, then I'm of course interested as well.

Yeah it looks like this is going to go for an unnecessarily inflated price at this stage.

Strange that it also has a digital release date on it though, as it is has already been released digitally. Does that suggest that it is going to get an official release and be accompanied by another track or two? Then again, surely that would be included in the promo. I'm confused.

Perhaps that's what The Black Dog were remixing, for a single release.

75 GBP. Not bad.

So... which one of you was the winning bidder?

I can hardly think that BoC are going to put out just a few copies of Reach For the Dead, considering that they have done a lot of record copies of TH. They are, for sure, trying to avoid inflated prices and speculation. It just does not make sense to sell a few copies of the single. They are going to rerelease old stuff, probably to stop people from selling their gems at hundreds of bucks.

this would never happen 8 years ago, 1 track cd single promo!

thats insane, even more insane if several more pop up

75 lol. I bet in few weeks/months more will show up on Discogs and they are priced around 1-10 pounds. I got my Campfire and Trans Canada promos for like 3-4e a piece from there. Radio stations still receive a lot promos on CD format you see. And usually they end up for sale somewhere some time.
