Megaplex Vinyl Test Pressing
This is an edition of 2, given to the band (Keith and Chris) for sign off. This is not the signed, numbered edition of 5, that was available as part of the Megaplex pledge music release page.
Other than the method of release, and the lack of signatures and numbering, this appears to the the same as the edition of 5.

This item is one of the few promos for the T.V. En Français period, it was around here that the number of promo CDs and physical releases has sadly started to reduce.
There’s also a more common card sleeve promo along with this UK numbered and protected CDR.
Full album tracklisting.

The Crown Jewel
Songs from the debut safety, fun and, learning (in that order)
So this is probably the grail for We are Scientists collections (unless any demo cassettes ever surface, email me if you have them! wasikicollection@gmail.com!)
This was a demo CD/sampler of the band’s upcoming debut, self released LP given out to people at concerts. Over the moon to have added this to the collection (admittedly a couple of years back, thanks to the person who got in touch with this).

- spotomatic freeze (3:24)
- the creeper (3:32)

Worth noting, that despite the similar cover artwork, this is not the common Return The Favour promo CDR.

A Long Overdue Catchup…
So this post is far overdue I know. I’ve had a lot going on over the past 12 months and it’s been fairly quiet on the We Are Scientists front. But recently a few new promos have surfaced and with the new album being recorded it looks like there’s more releases on the horizon so expect more updates as that happens.
I’ve added four new promos to the relevant pages here..
Rules Don’t Stop Hong Kong Promo CD
So 4 varied new items, I’ve got to admit my favourite is the Rules Don’t Stop Hong Kong Promo if only for the bizarre text on the insert..
My favourite line is:
“On ‘ Barbara’ they recruited Andy Burrows (former hitter-guy for Razorlight)”
If Andy ever wanted an official title I think we have a winner!
More posts to follow as more items show up and the new album begins to form.
P.S. The background of the top pic is all we Are Scientists CDs and vinyls and about 75% of my collection (the bigger vinyls don’t fit and some CDs live on a display shelf) I’ve been meaning to post full photos but this gives you an idea of most of it (note: there are no duplicates, loads of the same album, but each is a different version/promo) and the big white group under the text is a ridiculous amount of the promo CDs in super thin plastic cases..
