Why? I came across the high point of this Pirelli advert saga when flicking through one of the latest NME's. Apparently Warp's offices had been flooded wit calls from RDJ addicts waniting to purchase the VERY limited 4" promo of this ad, entitled 'Tyre Trax'. One person even offered up to 80 quid ! The reason it was so limited was simple, it was 'Vibes' Single Of The Week in the issue dated April 1st, and of course never excisted ! All at NME Towers and Warp offices all had a good laugh at this April Fools - me included :)! Repeating once again : 'Tyre Trax' does *N O T* excist, to my knowledge at least. (but if anyone comes over a copy, drop me a line .... :) Cheers Oyvers ------------------------------------------------------------------- Oeyvind Eggen -------------------------------------------------------------------
