Yeah it's true I have the State to State CD and it's got the email address on the actual cd as well as the sticker on the packaging (unbleached cardboard cover/insert). It's not exactly free as membership to State to State costs 15 Pounds but for this you are supposed to get all their mail-outs, so the cd is a bonus. The CD basically is songs that didn't make it into onto Gorgeous as most of them seem to be recorded during the Gorgeous sessions, so I was a little disappointed with it. Don't get me wrong it's good, but I was expecting a little more... Having said that the live version of Cubik (1st song on State to State) is simply amazing and definitely the best version of that song i've heard anywhere.
