This is a very rare Japanese 2 track promo 3" (8cm) mini-CD single of Pet Shop Boys' "So Hard". The item is an import of the English language pop and electronic genre, released in 1990 by EMI. The CD grading is very good plus (VG+), and the case type is a snap pack digipak card sleeve. The case is unsnapped and is also in very good (VG+) condition. Inside the sleeve cover are the lyrics to the title track in both English and Japanese. This edition is a pre-release promo pressed in very small quantities and the disc has ‘SAMPLE NOT FOR SALE’ etched around the centre. The item is a must-have for collectors of electropop, Britpop, and dance pop music from the 1990s.

The photographs shown are of the actual item for sale. It has been kept in a cellophane wrap so is in really great condition for something that is now over 33 years old. The cellophane has partly perished but could easily be replaced with something newer for continuing protection.
