Promo versions

HUMO CD-rom

This CD-ROM was offered with the March 18 issue of Belgian magazine HUMO. It's a CD-extra, which means it contains both CD-audio tracks and computer data. 300,000 copies were printed (one CD with each copy of HUMO, but I might be wrong) ; therefore I believe it will be easy getting one if you don't have one yet.

Audio tracks :
1. One Advice, Space
2. You Can't Deny What You Liked As A Child
3. Magdalena (live at the Ancienne Belgique, 21.01.99)
4. Gimme The Heat (acoustic, live in Nijmegen)

Videos :
1. Work (dEUS working in the "En Frente Arte" studio) 1:29
2. Play (relaxing by the "El Cortijo" swimming pool) 1:14
3. Ronda - San Pedro (various scenery shots) 1:32
4. San Pedro (various scenery shots) 1:35
5. Reading HUMO can have serious consequences (rather funny advert for HUMO) 0:30

Titres Inédits - French bonus CD

3. There

This came with some copies of The Ideal Crash sold in France. Titres Inédits simply means "previously unreleased tracks". It's a cardboard sleeve with French tourdates on the back.

Titres Inédits 2 - French promo

(p) & (c) 1999 Island Records Ltd.

9191 (that's the CD reference number)

1. Gimme The Heat (session)
2. Little Arithmetics (session)
3. Thirteen (live)

Those recordings come from the Sister Dew singles, and I don't really know why this promo was printed - it was probably bundled with The Ideal Crash.

 

that's the back of the cd sleeve. click to see a larger version in a new browser window.

Advance copy

CID 8082
(p) & (c) 1999 Island Records Ltd.

This CD comes in a double cardboard sleeve : the inner cardboard sleeve is like a standard single sleeve and show pictures of a barking dog (the dog is inside the car you can see on the Instant Street and Sister Dew singles) ; the outer sleeve is thicker and contains the inner sleeve, the cover is the usual one but on the back you don't have the concert picture. Strangely, the title of the album is written on the three edges of the outer sleeve, instead of on only one of them. Phew I hate describing things in a foreign language :)
