Do Promo CDs contain the full album?

I want to buy an OOP soundtrack CD on half.com but the seller lists it as being a promo CD. Do promo CDs have the full album on them, not just a couple of the songs? Thanks.

Yes, most promos have the same songs. If it wasn't a full CD, they usually list it.

Thanks, Jim. Guess I'll order it then.

Even if it's not, it's only $3.30 shipped, so it wouldn't be a great loss to me.

I know this is late (since you already ordered it), but sometimes promo cds are edited for content. I think the companies do this because they hope the cd will be played in the record store.

Thanks for the warning, Steve, but it's the Groundhog Day soundtrack, so that's not of any concern to me.

scott27, I know that some of the dvd's/vhs and cd's sold on Ebay and Half are promotional in nature, but do know that promo product does specifically state that the product is property of the company and they do have the right to ask for their product back. However, in the who-knows-how-long I've been getting promo merchandise, I've never once heard of a company enforcing that statement.

Just useless info you should know.
