I also believe that Record Labels do not have to pay sales tax on copies
which are labelled Promotional Use or pay MCPS duties on those records
either.

that's right - depending on the industry agreement in place in the territory
of production; mechanical royalties are not due on promotional pressings.

the curiosity is burning my brain. who gets promo copies of releases?
and, if they're not for re-sale... how do they end up on the market?
DJs, shops, distributors, journalists, live bookers etc etc etc. Many labels
add stickers to promos saying 'not for re-sale', but it's a pointless
endeavour: most inevitably get sold on for cash. Otherwise people would have
shelves of unwanted records sitting there going to waste.
