Hey, guys.

I read somewhere (actually, in a torrent site) that an early promo copy of X&Y was released with the following tracklist:

 

X1 Talk

X2 Low

X3 The Hardest Part

X4 Speed of Sound

X5 What If

X6 X&Y

Y1 Square One

Y2 White Shadows

Y3 Fix You

Y4 A Message

Y5 Twisted Logic

Y6 Swallowed In The Sea

('Til Kingdom Come is not present)

 

I downloaded a FLAC copy of it (only covers included, no LOG or CUE included), the songs are exacly like the final version of the album (except for the gaps, a bit longer in this version).

The covers are of poor quality, I couldn't detect any fake at the covers (the poor quality could cover the fakes).

 

DISC COVER

BACK COVER

 

A 320kbps copy of "How You See The World No. 1" is included in the torrent, although the cover doesn't mention this song as part of the tracklist.

 

No further info was given.

 

Did anyone ever hear about this promo copy with alternate tracklist?

Does anyone have this promo copy?

I guess nobody has.. ;)

I haven't heard of it before..?

is there any difference compared to the 'real' x&y?

interesting. It's hard to know about these things

Could be fake, but why would anyone do that? I wonder if anyone has that promo.

Well they did test different tracklists before arriving at the final. And during SITS live they displayed images of similar songlists. So I'm sure they had a lot of differently arranged discs floating around before they released the current version.

as far as i know the different tracklist (some tracks even sounded different) was a leak version that was around the net before the album was released. :thinking:
