Offering this very obscure Promotional release by Sir Paul and Youth preforming under an alternate pseudonym -The Fireman-

Of the several different promo releases that were made available at the time of Rushes release, this is by far the hardest one to track down. All of the various promos, in both vinyl and CD, were pressed in extremely small numbers as I’m sure you are aware.

The pictured promo in this listing features a Holographic Label on side one that has the flames appear to flicker as it goes round and round on the turntable.

Another part of this rare release has to do with the poster that was included with the record. It measures an astounding five foot by five foot square. The subject matter is eye catching to say the least. A very well endowed young lady showing off all that nature has to offer.

The photographer of this striking woman is none other than Bunny Yeager. Her fame was solidified for taking those iconic photos of Betty Page back in the day. Because of her notoriety, most copies of this minutely pressed Promo lack having the poster included as her fans are always on the lookout for available copies.

It is a high quality printing as far as posters are concerned. Not the mass produced types you will find included with most records but more of a heavier stock and higher quality inks. Gold print designs were also used and at 5’ square it’s pretty impressive.

Condition wise all is great. The vinyl is beautiful. Plays perfectly and doesn’t have any marks worth pointing out except for some very minor sleeve rubs when tilted into bright light. The poster is in beautiful condition. It has a small separation at one of the center folds in the crease but nothing noticeable when it’s completely opened and no missing stock. It simply looks really great. I stared at it for minutes.

Summing up this is a rare McCartney Promo to find complete with the poster and in great condition. The original plastic outer sleeve and catalog numbered inner sleeve are also present and included as is the white bubblewrap envelope I first received it in. I hope I covered any questions you might have and if not please do message me via Ebay.
