FIRATO PROMO IN ORG. PATENT PENDING JEWELCASE

Notes :

Promotion disc, especially for the Firato '82 Fair in Amsterdam from 25-08-1982 until 05-09-1982, where the compact disc phenomenon was presented to the world for the first time. BZN, who at that time was temporarily recording TV specials in the French Alps, flew up and down especially to receive an award for being the first Dutch artist on CD. Because the fair only involved a promotional CD, which could be pre-ordered at the fair, but was not actually sold in stores, BZN is never praised for this fact, but the Dutch band Doe Maar with [r=3349358 is always mentioned as the first artist, with CD 4US in stores in March 1983.

CD with Green Arrow Design, including BZN logo on disc.
Extra banner with text AUDIO on front cover.
BZN and title logo on back inlay in black (no blue/yellow as in all other versions).
No barcode on the back.

800 066-2 number in the middle of the back of the back insert, visible through the hole in the tray.
