I took the narrow way. Wrote an email to Peer Group.
These promos are made expressly for the purpose of achieving radio play before the single is released. Whomever has been selling these on Ebay has been doing so illegally as it reads on the promo CD 'not for resale'.
I would urge you not to buy or bid on these in the future because there is nothing special or rare about them, and they are a waste of money. They are literally mass produced CDR's, which you can get in a shop, with a track burned onto them and paper printed artwork, for the purpose of radio play.
Honestly, these cds a not worth anything and it is unfair of the seller to be profiting off the sales of these cds when they only cost a few pence to make.
Well, she clearly doesn't know anything about collecting BOC releases (:

How much the CD/artwork itself cost to produce isn't exactly the point. To a collector (like myself) it's quite a cool and unique item to have. As long as it's official, which it is, collectors are gonna want it.

I will confirm that it is just a cd-r and not an official cd.. So prolly just an mp3 on a cd, very disappointing, but i want it anyway.

Pretty much what I expected. It's pretty cool though, I'm glad I have one.
