Anybody got any of the following? I care... When I Care Because You Do came out in 95, Warp had some promotional posters and bags made up for the release. Here's what those hommies at 4th World (who know too much for their own good if you ask me) had to say regarding them: "the initial pressings came with a poster , but the bag was just a gimmick given free to shops by the distributors pre-release to promote the album , most of the shops given the bags probably threw them away or sold the latest cd by a 'read about it in the nme' saddo indie band in them..." Girl/Boy And of course, there is the limited promotional edition of the Girl/Boy EP (limited to 100 copies and mailed to press, etc.) containing a lock of RDJ's hair in a small plastic 'nickel bag' (hehe) with a hand numbered label denoting the number of the lock over 100. RDJ album The most famous promotional item of recent aphexdom is 'the mask.' Now, through some tremendous slip up at WARP (I'm sure...) I never received one of the masks, but they are being made for the US release of RDJ LP as well. Anyhow, here's what Franz has to say about it: "They are facebig and contains the face from the cover, with "Richard D James, The new album by APHEX TWIN. Unmasked 04/11/96" written on the back." |

I've seen the mask. Some person had put it on -a toilet- at my previous school (Berzeliusskolan, Linköping, Sweden). I had no idea it was a promotional item, and also no idea who put it there. It was cool though. It was really a mask - had holes for the eyes. hehe. I thought someone had made it "at home", but it really match martinhm's description (same size too)... |

I don't know who "those hommies" are, I stole the above descriptions from an old afx site. |

I have the ...I Care plastic bag and poster. I think I have two posters actually. And I have an Aphex face mask. Don't have the lock o hair though, didn't know about that. I have stacks of Warp promo merchandise, got a fair collection now. Lots of posters, postcards and stickers, but there's other weirder stuff like a number of plastic bags (drukqs, broadcast, ...I care, plone, wap100 etc), rizzla papers, lighters, frizbees, etc. There's other stuff been used to promote releases, like toy puzzles, sunflower seeds and chocolates. They're nuts. (warp that is, not the chocolates) |

I think the daftest thing I have is a paper delivery van that you pop out of a sheet and fold up into a 3D model. That was a promo for Red Snapper's 'Our Aim Is To Satisfy' album. |

How come you get all these promotional items? |
||||||||
|
|

Some I get with warpmart orders, some from friends, some from ebay, some from kind-hearted record shop owners. Just wherever I see them really. |
