How have we not noticed this before! Fire in Cairo/Cario

		Also that square Fiction sticker appears on some press/promo items and the rectangular item with Fiction logo is a comp slip, the comp slip is plain on one side/has logo on the other but isn?t a sticker just to point out - I?ve have a comp slip and square sticker on a copy of Grinding Halt 12? promo (reviewers copy)

Hello there web. I think this deserves more then three stars with both badge, sticker and all four very hard to find postcard. Its my opinion. Best regards/Lasse!

Well, looking at such a scarce and wonderful item, I don't want to disturb you, but isn't there anything to report about the cardboard sleeve or inner paper sleeve? It'd be nice to see these 'original' ones.

		Thanks! I'll apologize to the LP for calling it a 'bastard child' yesterday :)

		webmaster	Jan, 30 2010 1:30 PM
		We've added the images, they are great quality. Whatever it is the true story behind this it's great find. Thanks vandeebgroup

		vandeebgroup (72)	Jan, 29 2010 10:48 PM
		Hmm, okay. Fair enough.

		webmaster	Jan, 29 2010 8:56 PM
		We don't have an answer. I'd seem like it could have been a commercial copy sent for promotion. However it's possible that the extras ended in there ages ago for some other reason. In any case, unlike the postcard or badge we are quite convinced your extras shouldn't be considered at all part of the stuff you may get in a commercial copy, nor make a copy a different promo record when it doesn't make much sense as a promo either. We'd rather leave it as a mystery, and your post a valuable piece of info.

		I've uploaded scans. I realized that my copy has both the paper insert like item #1318, and a sticker like item #1319 (plus the postcard). I believe both are authentic: there is slight yellowing from age, and the sticker has a watermark on the backing which states "Millfix" and "Intermills" which is believe is correct for the era and source. As to whether they were originally included with this item, I can't be absolutely sure. But I believe they were. The ebay seller was "HUNA1950" who has over 5500 feedback, with 100% positive. He stated in the listing that this was part of the collection of a music reviewer who was active in the industry from 1960s through 1970s. He received LPs as promos for review in a music publication (don't know which one). So the LP isn't a test press or promo copy, but if it were sent for promotional purposes, these inserts may have been included. Let me know what you think.

		I'll see what info I have from the seller... bought it 2 or 3 years ago. I'm pretty sure it's an original sticker--it has a distinctive crack-and-peel backing with two splits. I'll let you know what info I can dig up, if anything, and will upload a scan. @jchristphem: Sorry, you're right, I didn't read the description carefully enough.

		I would just like to stress that on my item(1318) it is not a fiction sticker, but just a piece of paper with the Fiction logo.

		webmaster	Jan, 27 2010 9:07 PM
		First time we hear that. Any chance that sticker did not came originally with the album? It's too a unique sticker so more than ever we think it's great to have the real picture. Thanks

		vandeebgroup (72)	Jan, 27 2010 2:52 PM
		My copy also came with the black and white 'Fiction' sticker shown with item #1318. Worth including the sticker in the full list of items that may be found with this LP? Do you need a new scan, or can you use the same image from #1318?

		webmaster	Jan, 26 2010 11:42 PM
		You can find up to 8 or 10 variations of this item depending on what you find with it. Listed is the whole stuff you may happen to find with a copy. // Will add images of the inner as time allows.

		Yes, the one with blue, pink and yellow vinyl are bootlegs and i think they are from 2005 maybe later. /Lasse!

		GCS1 (8)	Aug, 26 2008 3:42 PM
		I have that record (blue vinyl) too and also one edition on yellow and pink vinyl with the same cat.number. i guess it's a bootleg reprint from the late 90s or even later. cheers g*
