jjvirta Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 This is presumable from Finland. I have seen three copies :the first one was sold in Ebay during the original collector's thread and was declared fake there.Second one was sold on a Finnish auction site while I was in Oslo for Bruce show and I lostit. I found this third copy from a second hand record store in Helsinki.I contacted the seller of the second specimen and he told me he had worked for a radiostation and he got the records from there. He also had all the other Finnish promoCDRs on auction at the same time.While Rocky Ground (Modern Mix) was "hot news" I contacted the marketing manager ofSony Finland and asked also about this release. She didn't recognize it, but I think shewasn't handling Bruce when this was released, so she didn't know. I also asked her fora list of Finnish promoCDRS, but they didn't have that. So a bit of a mystery, but I wonder,where would a radio station get their records unless from a record company....'cause tramps like us keep on rockin' . . . Jyrki Link to post Share on other sites

JyrkiIf it came from a radio station, then it's genuine, but then one has to trust the seller that he really got it from a radio station. Any one who wants to sell a promo CDR would say that he got it from a radio station or he worked at one.But he's probably telling the truth because, as you said, he also had all the other Finnish promo CDRs on auction at the same time.I added it to the list.Finland (CDR)2007 - "Radio Nowhere" (SONY USSM10703853) Plastic sleeve, promo, 1-track2007 - "Girls In Their Summer Clothes (Winter Mix)" (SONY 88697 20478 2) Plastic sleeve with sticker, promo, 1-track2007 - "Working On A Dream" (SONY USSM10805131) Plastic sleeve, promo, 1-track2008 - "Working On A Dream" (SONY, no cat#) Slimline jewelcase, picture disc, 1-track, promo2008 - "Surprise, Surprise" (SONY, no cat#) Slimline jewelcase, picture disc, 1-track, promo2012 - "Rocky Ground (Modern Mix)" (SONY USSM11203943) Plastic sleeve with insert, promo, 1-track Link to post Share on other sites

The first serie have obi that formed a bitusa era picture, the second (this is not complete) have obi with the river era picture.I assume what you meant to say was "Born To Run"-era picture rather than "BITUSA", and you were probably referring to this:However, that series (which only took in Bruce's albums from "Born To Run" through "Tunnel Of Love") already was released back in 1995, four years before the "Chimes" EP was reissued internationally, so it obviously couldn't have been included therein.
