williambailey01 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Had a question about the 12" x 12" promo poster flats that you see. I have one for each of the album covers (see below pic) except for Lies - does anybody know if they made for Lies as I have NEVER seen one?Pics of the back of them:Here are the other ones I own does anybody know what other ones exist? I think I have seen a Since I Don't Have You - any others?In a similar theme thought I would also post a pic of this. It's a Printers Proof of the original AFD cover. It also has the logo picture in black and white too printed onto photographic feeling paper which was a bit strange perhaps it was originally considered for inclusion?

AmyL Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I have several of those too but have never seen a lies one. There must be one. Actually I have the Spag. one with Slashes and Gilbys autograph. I would sell it for $65 plus shipping US only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZTEC GUNNER Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I have a big poster used to promote the lies album in record stores but it is not 12" x 12" sorry my cam broke down and i can´t send picsi guess there must be a few 12" x 12" around but sometimes people don´t keep them so that makes it hard to find.

ThinkAboutYou Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) I don't have the square flats but I do own a few of the cardboard promos/counter displays for albums and singlesActually I think I have one square flat but I know it's not for Lies I think it's for knocking on heavens doorCool collection of flat's Marcus Edited October 23, 2009 by ThinkAboutYou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey you know that first one, they also had a similar promo item in with some of the UK AFD cassettes as well: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmyL Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I don't know how rare this one is. But I haven't run into one before. I wish I had the other piece. It must have another one. It looks like it would be like my other one with a box for the tapes. But this is all i have of it. Anyone ever seen the rest of it?http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=201094714&albumID=1600939&imageID=24070489 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean like the AFD one where the tapes actually sit in the little cardboard display?Regarding that big one I have always wondered where they were meant to display them. Did they just throw them up on the wall or did they actually place it in the vinyl racks with the albums and because the cardboard is slightly taller than the albums it stood out a little bit, so you could quickly flick to the GNR section??

AmyL Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I think they usually go up on the wall. I have that tape one your talking about. And I was thinking it was like that, yeah. But I am such a dumbass. I took it out just now to take a look and its actually a stand up. It has the stand up back so its for a counter top on its own.

troccoli Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Totally agree about the autographs but I don't agree that this is a collectible item. Looks like someone just made it, no? Of course, that does not mean it's not cool looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I have never seen it before it kinda looks like a Promo Poster Flat - although they are 12 inch x 12 inch and this one is on 11 x 11???

But who knows? By the way, where do you see an Axl autograph on there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
