Only in Europe. Which drives up the price in North America. I won the FTI one-track single from an LP:FUSE contest last year. I'm probably one of the only ones in North America who owns it.
I'm sure some people have imported it too. [/b][/quote] The 1-track one is the promo version. You cant buy it at local shops (mostly). The actual retail price is....man I love 'Price Is Right'), but yeah, the actual retail 3-track single is like, 4 pounds and often $15 USD.
FTI is a little harder to get as a CD single because it was only released on CD in Australia. The UK single of From the Inside was a digital download single and while there were 1-track promos of it the actual 3-track CD single was only made in Australia.

There was one released & made in Europe as well, but it didn't ship much to the UK because of the download single, like you mentioned. The Australian one only shipped around Australia It's value is only really the same as any other CD single. It's never going to be worth much because it was commercially released.
The 1 track promo (there's actually 2 different types) was sent to radio stations and journalists. Sorry if it looks like I'm needlessly correcting everybody on these, especially you anthony. But after spending a few months finishing up our full LP discography I've got promos on the brain.
Don't worry about it. You're fairly well known in the trade community as far as I know. From what I remember you used to be 'Pilky' on JoshW's boards. Or maybe it was energy's LPFuse ones. Or both. Damn, I have a bad memory
Sorry if it looks like I'm needlessly correcting everybody on these, especially you anthony. [/b][/quote] Psh all my promo info is amassed from people like you, Energy, etc. who actually take the time to hunt those things down and get them. My collection of LP CDs is bigger than most people's, but I've only got 3 real "promos," the Projekt Revolution sampler promo, the Breaking the Habit CD/DVD promo, and a H! Vltg3/Pts.Of.Athrty radio promo. I may be a big name in the LP multimedia world (I hate bragging but it's kinda true... ) but I'm way behind a lot more people when it comes to CDs/DVDs/Vinyls/Cassettes. So if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me, it's not the same as correcting me on a song, because in this case I don't necessarily have the promo in question in my posession to just go look at and see!
my FTI single came with 3 tracks, FTI, runaway live and FTI live from the live album, this single was fairly common through out music stores in australia, i got mine from a whole stack of them just before they got thrown out...
i got mine in a bundle of singles of my friend for 50 quid. it was like all the singles though so it wasnt that bad - and a few promos thrown in for good measures
