Pre-release (Promotional Items)

This page contains information and images of the various pre-release (promotional) items for the album With Love And Squalor by the band We Are Scientists.

Unmastered CDR Promo:

This was the second of such unmastered CDr promos to appear for sale. However as the tracklisting features a different order from the release and the first unmastered CDr, and doesn’t include Inaction or Textbook but the two tracks This Means War and History Repeats that went on to be used as b-sides it seems this is the an early recording CD, the tracklisting changed to the newer CDr and then towards the final release.

The tracks feature minor differences from the released version, some are slightly longer and not just blank pauses, the effects and instruments sound rougher and edgier and possibly includes some extra layers of instruments/effects.

Packaged in a jewel case with a front insert and printed disc.
