Promotional Releases
In the music industry, promotional releases are used to generate interest in a specific composer or genre of music. Often times, these types of CD albums are not commercially sold by a publishing company and instead are distributed for free. Over the years, a few tracks from Young Indiana Jones have been released on promotional albums. All of these releases were distributed in limited quantities and are currently out of print.
