While the record itself is definitely a promo, A&M decided to use a commercial jacket (bar code for scanning a purchase). The gold embossed promo stamp wouldn't make this a promo, if the record labels had a commercial catalog number (without the "-DJ" added to the catalog number).
Perhaps a stupid question from a non-native English speaking person: Doesn't "banded" mean, that the songs fade into each other? That is the case with all the standard issues of this album "Blaze Of Glory".
However, on this US promo (and also on this French promo-only LP) the songs are separated with a few seconds of silence inbetween and DON'T fade into each other. So I'd rather describe this as "non-banded" or "un-banded", but please correct me, if I'm wrong. Or is there a specific other term for this? Thanks.
