Re: Mmm...Download
not necessarily

if they're (proper) promo's then the band never made anything off them
they were only released to promote the band and their official release

it's just that a LOT (majority, possibly) of record stores will sell these promo items...

for example: I paid $15 for the DFA remixes of NIN's "the hand that feeds" ...only to find a local store giving them away - b/c they were promo's (as well as the Orb's "Aftermath" Ep, and NIN's "Only" Richard X/El-P mixes)
