I just got a promo copy of the Prince 12" of "Sexy Dancer" and the Azymuth 12" of "Jazz Carnival" from New Jersey. I also have the promo copies of the Police 12"s "Voices Inside my Head"/"When the World is Running Down" and "Too Much Information"/"One World is Enough".
I got a promo copy of Common's "The Bitch in You" (directed at Ice Cube). I think that's the rarest hip-hop promo I have.

I forgot to mention my promo copy of Risque III's "Risque Madness" promo on Stride Rite records. But my roommate Frank Sneed wrote the song with K. Alexi Shelby so that wasn't hard to get.

Probably "Together Forever" by Exodus and the drum-a-pella of "Funk You Up" by Jesse Saunders. I could not BELIEVE it when I found those two!!

White Label typed promo of "Come into my House" by Queen Latifah
Triple promo pack of "Inspiration" by Arnold Jarvis
Promo Double Pack of Lil Louis "Saved My Life"
In thinking about it, there are far too many to list, especially white labels & acetates.
My sincere thanks to all the crackheads in Jersey City who sold me these gems at pennies on the dollar.

This ain't so rare anymore - they re-issued this on cd. Unless you're talking about vinyl as opposed to cd, then yeah, the vinyl is somewhat rare.

To be honet I'm not sure which house promos are rare but I think I was quite lucky to get hold of these...
Arthur Russell - In The Light Of A Miracle (original/remix) Talkin Loud test pressing
Loose Joints - Pop Your Funk (West End 7")
Indian Ocean - Treehouse/School Bell (4th & Broadway white label test pessing)
Arthur Russell - Lets Go Swimming (white label test pressing)
Felix - Tiger Stripes (Sleeping Bag promo 7")(Nicky Siano/Arthur Russell collaboration)
Steinski & The Mass Media - The Motorcade Sped On (Disconet)
Rolling Stones - Too Much Blood (Arthur Baker Remixes) (Atlantic promo)
Various Artists - Mutant Disco compilation (ZE)(numbered promotional box set)
The Aztec Mystic - Knights Of The Jaguar (Derrick May Remix) (unreleased test pressing)
Found a Risque Madness original test pressing for 50p in a London charity shop a few weeks back, which must be a phenomenal piece of luck.
on the Ten City tip has anyone mentioned 'Superficial People' (Steve Silk Hurley Mix) on the US Atlantic promo yet? ... oh so good!
Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You (white label test pressings given out in Miami. Given to me by famous DJ mate: I think he was supposed to give it to the MD of his record label. oops!)
