I just bought what I thought was going to be a promo copy of an album, but it's actually a 20 minute DVD about the making of the album. What does EPK mean?

Electronic Press Kit

the Royal Trux EPK circa "Thank You" is pretty hilarious

I don't think this what listed as an EPK, so I think I have grounds for returning it.

Try to convince them that they've royally screwed up, and if they don't give you your money back you'll tattle and get publicists and label reps all up in their business. Say "I did it in New York when Kim's wouldn't take back that mixtape, and I'll do it here."

It really is their fault, and some variation on your threat idea is good.

I think the moral of the story is: just wait for the domestic release (especially in a case where you know one is planned).

What part of "FOR PROMOTIONAL USE ONLY. NOT FOR SALE" don't you understand?
