This promo CD originally came in a red velvet pouch and with ad additional tape (like in the promo "No. 020 - Treasure Me", see below). But the version I have only consists of the CD, a three sided paper inlay and a flat plastic cover. The paper has on one side the pattern from the inside of the Overcome 7", on the other side the "wedding"-photo of Tricky and Martina and press quotes. See scans of it here. The CD contains edit versions of some Maxinquaye songs, but the song titles are not written anywhere.

1. Tricky Kid.... Low (Radio Version) 4:15
2. Tricky Kid.... High (Album Version) 4:14

This promo comes in a flat paper cover. The Radio Version is a clean version where the vocal line with the word "cocaine" in it has been mixed away - instead the line "knock out your gold fronts" is repeated. Maxime Brousse wrote me about this promo: >> When I put in my CD player all I could heard was a 60 minutes silent track. I put it in my computer and find out that it was actually a CD rom ! It is a 591 Mo folder called Mastertx contening an other folder called Chap01 that inclued various *.ap files. And I do not event what thoses files are ! <<
My copy has a sticker on the back saying: 

TRICKY - "Tricky Kid"
Tricky astounds the critics and public yet again with the second release from his labum "Pre-Millennium Tension". "Tricky Kid" has already been pinpointed as THE track from the album and is the follow-up to Tricky's highest selling single to date; "Christiansands". Included across the formats are 4 previously unreleased tracks including  a live version of 'suffocated...' which was recorded for BBC's Later's programme.
