Dunno if anyone saw it, but a 1-track promo for the Grant Nicholas song 'Robots' was listed on eBay recently. Bidding got up to over £30 before the listing was pulled (item number 321834643816 for those interested).
Either someone contacted the seller and offered them big bucks, or the record company got it pulled (IIRC you're not really supposed to sell promos for singles that aren't out yet).
So is this the next single? A promo for a single release that was later abandoned? How many copies exist? Spooky.

Where did hear that it was given out in Amsterdam? I think a couple of people on here went to the Amsterdam gig, would be great if they could verify it or not!

Too many, imo, to be honest. Let me few days and I'm sure I'll do a cover for each song. It's more and more common these days. I've seen The Darkness publish a post on Facebook to avoid the fans to bid for a fake promo CD. It would be great if the GN team could do the same.

I agree, the Joan of arc cdr is terrible also, i thought that was fake! A paper case with a printed cdr doesn't fill me with confidence

I have a copy of the Xmas bundle from 2012 that was never opened. Comes with a signed Christmas card and feeder wrapping paper. Pretty sweet. wonder what that's worth now? I think there were only 500 issued

Haha yeah I've seen a few pop up over time, but I don't think people selling realise it's still available at such a low price from recordstore!

When I talked to my contacts at Grant's label they told me it was a fake as they never issued a Robots promo. The seller just kept fobbing me off when I asked for extra pictures.

Good to know Pete! I just hope that the person who bought it (if there was one) didn't pay through the roof and can get their money back if they did!
There's been a few fake things on eBay recently, I purchased a fake white label Idaho test pressing a couple of weeks ago - thankfully I got my money back, but be careful out there people.

The seller is saying it's a CD not a digital download ... and yet doesn't seem to have changed the listing to correctly reflect what it is! Strange ...

They're frequently listed at that price. The seller is from Japan and sells most of the vinyl from Feeder. The price is high but they seems to be in perfect condition.
