As a 13 year old wannabe punk, I snapped this up at the time from a record dealer at my local market, who must have had a connection to a DJ/ reviewer, as he got lots of promo bits and bobs. Wish I had a time machine....
Anyway, I assumed every copy came with a giant poster and press releases at the time and when I got this home and showed my older brother, he scoffed and said it should be a double LP and pulled the double with more tracks out from his collection. I was a little gutted at the time and this went to the back of the pile and remained unplayed. I completely forgot about it over time and only came across it again recently. Doing a little research, the poster in this condition is rare and the promo sheets appear to be very rare...
Grading
Record: The record looks pretty much perfect - no scratches or noticeable marks, even under bright light. I may have played this once or twice at the time and have just played it all through again to list here. It plays near perfect, just the odd bit of dust static. M-
Sleeve: Sleeve is very nice, some very minor wear on edges and corners. Sleeve has the "Includes Free Poster" sticker. EX
Poster: The absolutely huge poster is unused and was kept in the sleeve from new. Obviously it has been folded to get it into the sleeve originally, but is otherwise very nice indeed - no pin holes, tears, stains, writing or damage. EX
Press Sheets: There are 2 press sheets, one is a single sheet, the other is 2 sheets stapled together. Like the poster, these have remain inside the sleeve since purchase. EX
Overall, I don't see you finding a better copy of this and coming not only with a top copy of the huge poster, but also the original press releases, forget it.
Gradings Used
M- Almost as new, no noticeable marks.
EX Perhaps a few featherlight whispy marks, but no scratches or deterioration in sound
VG+ Some light marks on the vinyl, but nothing that should cause clicks or pops, just occasional light surface noise.VG Some heavier marks and maybe a few scratches that will cause some noise, but will still be a very enjoyable listen with definitely no sticks or skips or constant surface noise.
