 | Juke Jules SUBS Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow Member since Jan 2011 4119 Points Moderator | A statement not a question. CDs that are included in a magazine should be entered as a Bonus CD. I have just edited a few CDs that were incorrectly entered as 'Promo' CDs 'Promo' CDs are those which are sent out by a record company or artist management company, gratis, to radio stations, DJs and record pluggers. The same consideration applies to CD Singles |

| Quad5point1 Member since Jul 2012 10480 Points | I think it's a misnomer to call them "Bonus CD's" as most people who buy these magazines / newspapers buy them only for the disc on the cover. If they bought the magazine / newspaper regularly then it would be a Bonus, but otherwise the disc is doing what it's supposed to do, and that is to promote sales of a magazine / newspaper, which equates to it being a Promotional item.

 | The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS My body is on the diminishing streak. Member since Dec 2011 8042 Points Moderator | I have entered them all as "CD Album" regardless whether they come from a magazine that has them on occasions or part of every magazine. |

 | kab2112 SUBS Wales, where men are men and sheep are nervous Member since Jan 2011 15459 Points Moderator | Many of the CDs that come free with magazines, etc., have "promotional item - not for sale" [or words to that effect] printed on them. If the source is mentioned in notes, then I'm happy with it being a promo item. |

| Whyperion SUBS Too Many Records , Too Little Time Member since Jan 2013 306 Points | It is a bit of the crossed area - some newspapers issued CDs that were effectively underwritten by the label in promoting say the next compliation they had out or latest artist disc / tour. I suppose the one copy of the Big Issue I have purchased was because it had a CD with it ( and one can look up the UK VAT regulations on when a non print thing is with a printed publication. I do tend to think of Bonus CD as being one you only got if you bought the LP / Ticket to the Show |
