i certainly recall that someone (quite possibly John/Skinburn) mentioned getting a copy of the RCM programme with some of the pages reversed going back - & i think unopenable, though i'm not 100% on that - so we know that mistakes certainly do happen...
I have such a RCM tour programme exactly like you described it. Bought it through the official store. Was sent a good copy after complaining and no need to send the faulty one back. Not that it matters hugely, but perhaps it was you who mentioned it then?
Yeah, i remember going to check mine just in case - i ended up with a few for various reasons... at least partly d.t. them being thrown in with the LP (& cake) along with having bought a copy previously at one of the UK gigs - & they were all correct...
…& then just remembered the overall premise.

wonder if my cake has rotted yet?.... My 2 pale yellow ones certainly look to be okay... ...but then so do the WA yoghurt covered raisins/nuts? (can't recall off hand)… …& so does the PS hot sauce.
Whilst i'm not proposing to 'use' any of them, if someone were to give me spares then the only thing i can think of that i wouldn't happily trust now is the WA condom.

Hi all I’m attempting to collect all DD tour programmes from each tour as well as mini tours and one offs. In 1993, the band did the Acoustic shows before the main Dilate Your Mind run of shows. Am I right in thinking that the programmes for both were the same apart from the Dilate tour having gold foil cover added? Or am I totally wrong here? Thanks Steve DDHQ has possibly, kind of answered the above via the latest collector’s corner: “There are two variants to this programme, one with the promoters name inside the front page, the other with the promoter’s name on the inside back. If we look closely, we can see it says DILATE YOUR MIND, which tells us one version of the book was sold on each leg.”

Yeah, i was asked about the early tours by Derek a few days ago - who i believe then contacted Nick to confirm stuff - but he'd not mentioned that he was adding anything about there definitely being an alt for that one.
As an aside, whilst i've no idea where the CM tour name came from - though the "UK Tour December 1981" was also called the "UK Christmas Tour" on other things...
...i believe that the FTL tour name came from a misunderstanding of a photo title in the official "Their Story" book from late 82 (or early 83 in the US) - where there's a title on page 11 of "Faster Than Light. The first headlining tour, Birmingham , March 1981."
However the first bit of the text was simply a random caption, as with many of the other photos... …& there's nothing with the programme, tickets, ads, FC stuff, etc that ever called it that.
[Edit]
Oh, & the first tour with a name was obviously the "Get it On" tour - but i guess he decided to only look at Duran themselves.

So, as per the CC, there's 2x US versions that mention Stefanos Lazaridis - which are what's new to me...
...but my original UK version doesn't mention Stefanos Lazaridis at all.
Yeah, i'd assumed that the CC description was just poorly phrased - but clearly not...
...though the luck must have been with me, as it was complete chance that i got the two different US versions.
