Promotion

Parlophone Records in Europe released two Cassette Sampler - both with six full songs and one with an additional minute of each track of the album. An Open Ended Interview on compact disc features 46 unnamed tracks with a total duration of 49 minutes, in which Tina talks about stage performances, previous tours and records, her image as a sex symbol, Goldeneye and of course about the new songs. Virgin Records in America released a NAC-Sampler with three edited versions from the album tracks. Two of them are only available on this record. Her North American sponsor Hanes issued a Collector’s Edition with three songs and in France, the track Unfinished Sympathy was released as a promotional disc, featuring an otherwise unreleased mix.

Tina herself promoted the album and tour first in London on November 15, 1995, dressed with a red sleeveless shirt and again in Paris on November 22, 1995, dressed with a black & white fake fur trouser and top. She spoke about the recent James Bond movie, the next world tour after a two year break and the new songs from her upcoming album. For the press, she lip-synced the song Goldeneye, while she was playing around with a golden water gun.

Additionally, Tina was also in France on February 12, 1996 at the Le Crillon Hotel in Paris for a series of interviews and promotional events. British photographer Duncan Raban travelled with her and he was granted exclusive behind the scenes access to take pictures, used later for the 'A day in the life‘ series in the tourbook.
