Playing With Fire

Promotional CD for the Romanian entry to the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest, as issued to press and accredited fans at the contest in Oslo. Although the label on the disc describes it as a Video CD, it is, in fact, a CD-ROM with individual data files which include biographies (as MS-Word files) and press photos (as jpg files) in addition to the song itself and four other songs by Ovi and Paula (all as CD quality WAV files), plus the song's video (in both .mpeg 720 SD and .avi full 1080 HD formats). All files are readable only on a computer (ie the disc will not play in a CD or DVD player). The disc was issued inside a plastic case/box which also contained 7 double-sided promotional cards, each of which has 2-3 months of a calendar (from May 2010 to December 2011) on one side and promotional information about the singers, the song itself and Romania on the other side. The case can be opened up and flipped around to display the cards as a desk calendar. The disc itself was also issued separately before the contest by Romanian TV (in a plain plastic sleeve without the promotional cards).
