On Ebay now and on this site http://www.beastones.com/HELDEN/HELDENc.html
They are talking about a new factory pressed cd.
Looking at the beastones site I see more titles which are stated as cd and others as cdr.
But I have my doubts about them.
Can anyone confirm if there is indeed a factory pressed Bowpromo cd out now?

Here is another link.

http://www.junk-headz.com/david-bowie-page.htm

They say it's a factory pressed.(Japanese text is exactly identical)

Sometimes factory pressed boots are still on sale in Japan, because "factory pressed" can make the price raise.

BTW at beastones the price is 3500JPY(aprox. 44USD).
4400JPY(aprox. 55USD) at junk-headz.

Thanks :)
In the meantime I have contacted beastones and they also confirm it is a factory pressed cd.
I think I'm going to order one and just see what will arrive at my doorstep.
Anyway thanks for the other link as well.
The one on Ebay went for around $100 :shock:

Just received the cd from Japan.
It is a real factory pressed disc :D
No silver cdr or other homemade thing.
The rim (hope that is the right word) in the silver side of the cd reads 'pressed in Taiwan.
Sound quality is the same as the internet download.
C'est La Vie is the vocal track only but for the first time on a bootleg cd.
Shadow man and Lady Stardust are the version already availlable on various discs.

Dont' know why they included these extra three tracks.
The Bowpromo on disc only would have been ok.

But a nice edition with good artwork.
