    No. They are in the photos section here as posted. I won't provide scans for obvious bootlegging reasons sorry. These are very rare and collectible. Was given these at the time of release and all are well gone by now. I never see them surface. Not once in 25 years.

    Numb is original cardboard sleeve version (50 made) with same printed CD disc as the jewel case version and Catalogue number (CDS 006) and inner sleeve the same too. Jewel case editions followed these original cardboard sleeve editions.

    The Zooropa sampler is with Cat No PRCD 6792-1 and features a rotative track listing back cover image unique firstly to this promo which appeared late April 1993 minus the Virgin logo. This unique artwork design later appeared on the limited edition version of the Zooropa album in Australia (which added the Virgin Records logo) and came out on day of release.

    This particular promotional version was printed for the American market due to the variation between promotional codes and also appeared as part of the Four5One designs issued to the band and those close to the band. Hence the numerical 1 instead of obligatory 2 after promotional releases. At this time of release the design company were known by a number of alias names... ABA Dublin, AMP Visual, Averill Design Associates, The Creative Department.

    This is fitting with other promotional items I have from this period, especially individual tracks from the Zooropa album (namely The Wanderer (album version without alarm/siren and an alternate version which later went on to appear with different lyrics on the Faraway, So Close! LP), Stay (later released in various promotional versions different to the ones issued to the band), Dirty Day, Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car and a Perfecto mixes CD too. None of these were commercially available or released as promo to radio stations. They have very unique catalogue numbers that build on the previous (CD PRZRP 1,2,3,4 etc..). These will be posted here one day.

    In addition to the aforementioned Zooropa, there is another CD with Cat No PRCD 6792-2 but with only one track - an edit version of Zooropa (to my knowledge there is no picture cover or tray cover, just the CD).

    Then there is THE real holy grail (forget the numbered original U2 Three 12" and Mexican/Argentinian promos from the POP era). The very very rare Zooropa white cover/yellow & black strapline (CD PR ZRP 1) promotional CD. These editions (as previously mentioned) are in numerical increment starting with the number 1 and are used in sequence for the aforementioned songs.
    I may post a photo of that one day.
