i read that they were set aside but not sent.
the thing was that the company did everything so that it didn't seem like their fault, like, for example, they had their promos set to go but didn't fill the shipping orders or marked them as if they were returned from the radio stations and journos.
if the record company had told lou "fuck off, we're not sending any promos!", they would have breached their contract, lou would have been able to walk away (a no no because they were expecting him to deliver coney island baby, which the label felt would be a huge hit) from his contract and be able to sue the label for said breach. all out sabotage never happens with big labels because of this, things are done more subtle.
of course the album was released eventually.
