Very little is known about this "Definitely Maybe: The DVD Audio taken from the EPK" Promo CD Sampler other than, as suggested by the label, it is the audio taken from the "Electronic Press Kit" approved for Radio Broadcast in Greece and is similar to the general European Promo CD.
It is also unknown how many of these were distributed, however Joakim (who has kindly provided the images) seems to be one of two people who were mysteriously sent them in the post.
Please take time to read Joakim's amazing story as to how this very rare promo came into his possession.

"I never actively purchased or sought out this disc at all! I was not even aware of it's existence until it mysteriously bumped into my postal mailbox sometime in late 2004. I tried emailing all the people I traded with at the time (and fellow collectors) to ask if they knew of it, or had sent it - to no avail. Now, my theory is I got sent this item as a replacement for another item I purchased on eBay a few months prior (but never received). I was the winning bidder on a VHS tape at auction containing a television edit of the Definitely Maybe DVD (shorter than the full documentary). The seller was somehow associated with Sony, and I believe he sold two of these promotional in-house VHS tapes, which never saw the light of day. I can't remember following up on this much, I never contacted the seller or complained about the the shipping time. Now, my theory is the seller didn't get the tapes as planned in the end, and sent other promotional items instead; hence this Greek CD promo. The seller was based in Athens, Greece. I remember he sold a lot of other rare promo stuff at the time and had great feedback, so he was definitely genuine. In hindsight, I'm sure this CD was a far better item than a VHS containing literally no unseen stuff - so I never complained.
I know of one other collector who has this CD (to my knowledge), and although I've not spoken to him in a while I believe his story is pretty much identical to mine."
