What the term means
Extended mixes, promos, dance releases and DJ copies. The term should be supported by label, catalog, matrix, packaging and provenance evidence rather than seller enthusiasm.
Identification checks
- Mix titles and timings identify versions.
- Promo copies may have unique tracks.
- DJ wear should be playback-graded.
Condition and market
Compare equivalent copies with the same pressing type, country, completeness and condition. A rare format can still have limited demand, and a later pressing can sometimes outperform an original because of sound, packaging or availability.
