This is an odd little promo item which i think came from Japan. Its an instore HMV item - issued to HMV stores in Japan to promote the forthcoming album, afaik.

It comes in a sealed paper sleeve, with a titled sticker on the back and it features the above tracks.

Now its nice to have the cowgirl and push upstairs videos on digital format, but i can't seem to access the files on this CD, so cannot be sure what videos these are (they may be the live versions from EE or just the originals). (i'm not sure what format they are in - so if i can access them, i will get back to you).

The Everything Everything DVD EPK was available with the UK EE promo interview disc CD. (This is a simple DVD Electronic Press Kit - basically detailing the bands history, and promotional stuff for the EE release).

The audio tracks and the uniqueness of the packaging are what really makes this CD important for this rare Underworld item.

The exact same Bedrock remix of Cowgirl is available on the Cowgirl Live CD single set, as is a version of the Futureshock remix at 8:26 long. However the Futureshock version on here is 9:30 long and is only otherwise found on the very rare UK 3 track promo CD single.

If you do come across one of these little items its worth picking up, just for the sheer oddness of its existence, with its HMV graphics on the disc & sticker.

There were very few Everything Everything promo items, apart from the UK Interview CD, the Cowgirl credit card sized CD rom and this - nothing else appeared as far as i know (there are a few paper items, posters, stickers, flyers, t-shirts, bags etc, but not much else in respect of 'musical' items).


Year of Release: 2000

Current Price: £15+

Desirability: 6/10 - everything on here can be acquired elsewhere, but as a package together its quite nice...and if you can't get the 9:30 version of Futureshock's Cowgirl on the UK CD promo - this is another outlet for it. And the (HMV) artwork on the disc (and sticker) is different to anything that you may have in your Underworld collection already. Its just unique in its existence.

Availability: 3/10 - i've not seen any others of these, but assume that there must be one for each HMV store in Japan....don't know how many that is or if any more got 'released' to the public...i got mine off ebay...but i think its pretty rare. Try and find it if you can.
