    The poster in my Mono Classic of The Who Sell Out is pretty cool. :)

    Three of my fave posters that came with LPs:

    Glastonbury Fayre - Revelations (the pyramid poster cover)
    Kingdom Come - Galactic Zoo Dossier (the cross)
    Family - Entertainment (the circus)

    I was pretty impressed that this year's Wincing The Night Away by the Shins included a poster.

    Did this poster originally come with the UK or US issue, or both pressings had it included at some early point? I kind of like the poster would be open to having an original if it is still out there to be had.

    It was only included in around the first 2,000 or so UK copies (so I've been told....)

    Someone help me here: Did The Who's Face Dances LP come with a poster?
    For some reason, I seem to recall that.

    I have the S & G Bookends as well as the Dylan GHs, but I should also have the Moby Grape poster too. You know that there are finger and non-finger printings of this poster to go with the respective jackets right! I was surprised to find that out, but I saw one with my own eyes. :agree:

    Jeff....No, I didn't know that. I had always assumed that only the album jacket was touched up (the 'finger' and the American flag) and the poster was left alone. :sigh: Another variant to track down......:laugh:

    Live at Leeds has that great poster, can't remember if it was already mentioned.

    I like the Dark Side of the Moon album with UK versions of the posters.

    And then of course there is that reunion poster inside Jethro Tull Best of MU which was a good idea at the time.

    There was a "flat" that doubled in size when you unfolded it that came with my copy of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours.

    It was a lyric sheet on one side - and a bunch of photos on the other side.

    The lyric sheet side had an interesting photo of the band in the background
    and I stuck it up on my wall - and used it like a poster.


    For years, I had the "Paul, Linda, Denny" side of the poster that came with Wing's "London Town" album on my wall. The other side of the poster (Macca always seemed to have 2-sided posters) was just some photos from the recording sessions... each photo was too small to make an effective
    poster.

    For the first four Lp's (out of five-Chicago Transit Authority didn't have one) Chicago had some interesting posters,I'll say! Michael Boyce

    One of my favourites was the poster with Kiss Dynasty - I had that up on the bedroom wall for years. Another was the Kiss Mural set from the solo albums.

    Prince's poster from Controversy is a favorite only because it's so shocking. I'll never forget when I found the LP in a stack of used records and said "Oh cool, a poster!" and pulled THIS out:

    I have not seen it in 20 years plus but...the large poster that came with the Faces Nod As Good Lp. Pictures taken by the band and rodies during several tours. I had that one for years until I gave away my copy inside the Lp and forgot it was there. When I got rid of my 20000 plus Lp collection I held on to as many of the incerts and poster that I could. I have 3 large boxes in a storge space filled with these things. I have been watching ebay for years for this Faces poster....

    I have this poster but it was not in my original copy of the album. A nice friend gave me his copy. I don't know how many copies of the album came with this poster but it appears to be not very many.

    For dkmonroe: my Sundazed Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits came with the poster.

    My favourite posters are ones with naughty bits: the poster that came with The Faces' "A Nod is as Good as a Wink" album with a gazillion small pictures including what looks like to be some "groupie" action and The Beatles' White Album UK uncensored poster (also found on the 30th Anniversary reisue).
