Rare PAS promo

[sound world]

The-rare- 4-track promo for PAS is on offer here-
http://www1.gemm.com/item/STINA--NORDEN ... 327700361/

What makes this so special is the artwork which is a wraparound poster with a big picture of Stina on one side (one of the PAS session pics) and a long and fascinating interview with Stina on the other. The text is too small and the poster too awkward a shape to make a decent scan of, so buying the CD is the best way to get to read it! It also (should) come in a red plastic sleeve.

Thanks for the tip regarding this promo, Dave ............it arrived safely this morning!

The interview does contain some interesting pieces of info, which were new to me. For example, that one of Stina's early songs was called 'Miranda' and was inspired by a character in the 'Picnic At Hanging Rock' film.

I wonder if Stina will ever get around to recording it?

Btw,the poster/cd did come in a red plastic sleeve. There was also a small photo sticker of Stina stuck over the middle of the interview. Has your copy got the sticker?
Unfortunately I don't think i'll attempt to peel it off to reposition it,just in case it takes the text with it.

Yeah,I think they all have the sticker, although in the two copies I've seen, it's been in a slightly different position, so that a bit more of the text can be surmised.

In the middle of mine the text around the photo, line by line, goes as follows.

The last line of the top section,'Libraries,labyrinths,ghosts' is fully readable,sticker misses it by a whisker.
In the 'Intermission;who is the artist' bit, I have-
sudde(n)...(a)ggression
cabaret m...ard film
she l...on ,though
Cre....(p)roblem
goe(s).....who is the player?
exagg(erated/ing)....d and self-timer
about...(c) ollide in the same moment

A couple of years ago I scanned and transferred the poster onto 8 sheets of A4,taped together, to make it a bit more legible. Otherwise you need to have a good magnifying glass!.

The sticker on mine is slightly peeled off, but I don't want to take it further. I can decipher a couple more words,anyway!
Perhaps between us we can work it out. Seems daft that they put it on,since it's just a copy of the pic on the other side.

Meanwhile mine has a promo sticker on the red sleeve which reads (E/W logo on right) PROMOTIONS DEPARTMENT ALAN,JOE AND DOMINIC plus a couple of phone numbers, and RELEASE DATE with 9/11 biroed on afterwards.

Your 'photo sticker' is almost exactly the same position as mine.
My sticker seems to be positioned about two characters to the left of yours

My promo sticker is also on the red sleeve and has the same details as yours, even down to the hand written release date.

In the 'Intermission;who is the artist' bit, I have-
sudde(n)...(a)ggression
cabaret m...ard film
she l...on ,though
Cre....(p)roblem
goe(s).....who is the player?
exagg(erated/ing)....d and self-timer
about...(c) ollide in the same moment

To the first words per line to the right of the photo, the additional letters I can see are:

a = aggression
d = dard-film. (probably standard film)
ti = tion, though,
p = problem
t = t who is the player
oi = oid and self-timer
c = collide and the same moment.
