Does anyone know what this Arcadia VHS 'leaflet'/flyer came with?
Yeah, it was an extra with a(nother) copy of the Japanese SB tour programme that i've just picked up in order to get the flyer...
(this was the only image, though it's at least double-sided as some of the printing is showing through)
...but i'm certain that they didn't come together originally...
...& i can't recall ever seeing one added into either the Notorious 12" or LP, or the Strange Behaviour EP.

Looks interesting Tim. The back is also about Arcadia, so it could be one of those leaflets they put into record sleeves like the Arena-ones.

Yeah, there's at least a 2nd side of Arcadia - i just couldn't think of a better way to describe it as i don't know for certain that it is just a single double sided sheet of paper, with that being the only image.
Well, it was called a "leaflet" in the listing - but that may well just be the translation being iffy.
(at least in British English where a single page in a book printed on both sides is a "leaf"... ...so a "leaflet" would normally be a folded single sheet - creating a small number of "leaves" with info on... ...as opposed to just an unfolded piece of paper)
& that was kind of my thinking.
Well, it certainly looks to be a cheaply printed thing - so somewhere between that b/w text sheet that came with the Arena LP & the two colour Arena alts that came with SRTR - so we'd reasonably expect loads of copies...
(as opposed to something like that colour Arcadia fold out leaflet thing that i picked up a while back with a copy of the ED 12" - where i think we believe that ltd copies were printed for promo stuff, but a few went into release copies)
...but, since i've haven't seen it previously, that's why i threw it out there.
i mean i guess, a bit like that questionnaire from 2003 from a couple of days ago, it 'could' have just been there at the shows in 1987 - but i'd still have expected some copies to have appeared in the last 34 1/2 years...
...but it's only the occasional flyer for the shows themselves (plus the odd ticket of course) that i've ever seen come with the programme.

A beautiful, mint condition DVD of Sing Blue Silver to supplement my videocassette.
My 10 year old also purchased the Funko set for my 49 and a 1/2 birthday. Great Kid!

There's not been much that's been very interesting lately, but picked up another version of this Bowie/Duran SB poster today - Yeah, slightly surprised that the seller accepted the offer as it was *significantly* lower than the asking price...
...however the total ended up being ~£98 - with ~56% being p&p d.t. CanadaPost being the most expensive postal service in the world. Yeah, i double checked the cost on CanadaPost's website as i was a little shocked since it's been a fair while since i've had something come direct from Canada & had forgotten quite how ludicrous their pricing is; & it was proportionate to what was listed - so certainly not the seller exaggerating &/or it's clearly not their fault...
...whilst the other ~44% included all of the VAT & whatnot of course.

Probably because i was trying to do too many things at once & the stupid heat, but that was all unnecessarily cryptic.
Mmmmmm... i sensibly need to wait to hear back from someone before sharing images of most of this lot, as i'm not sure what to do in terms of selling some of it on - atm i'm thinking that eBay might be the best option to fairly price...
(there's also something in there that might be an alt but i won't know until it gets to me)
...but anyway, along with those, more copies of both the BT sticker sheet & the Japanese versions of the Notorious postcards, there were these; which are most of what i wanted from the lot - Yeah, so i'm pretty certain that the 2 small badges will be 'junk'... ...i've never known if that BT cover badge is legit or not... ...but i know that the keyring is official (i believe it was vip merch)... ...& i'm really curious about the iDWYL badge - as i know that, along with the UK FC one, there was also a couple of official Australian ones (which i have).
Okay, so this was the entire lot -
& some sundry photos -
So obviously i picked up almost all of the DDCJ stuff (i think just missing the membership card) going back - though i'm not sure whether the translation booklet is an alt colour to mine or if it's just the photo... ...&, for reasons, sensibly needed to mention stuff to Pierre. Well, as a general rule, i either pass things on for whatever they cost me + postage or simply for postage - however i'm obviously aware that there's a reasonable value &, unless he has any other ideas, i'd be much happier seeing what the spare stuff went for on eBay than attempting to set a fixed price. Yeah, just am in the middle of renovations here & so could do with realising whatever they're worth when they turn up - & maybe also listing some of the rarer duplicate programmes.
Oh, & not very exciting, but also picked up a cheap copy of the 2CD deluxe version of Aikawa Nanase's id:2 - with the JT remix of Like A Hard Rain on the 2nd disc.

Seeing those badges remembers me that I once owned (and unfortunately lost) an Arcadia badge with the text "Vote For" written around a circular graphic (it was either the symbolized staircase which appeared on the A-side labels or the graphic "A in a circle" from the "The Flame" A-side label) and a small Tritec Music copyright sign in the lower right corner... I once bought it at the Camden Town market in London - so it could have been official or not...
But fact is, I've never seen this again. Does anybody have one in your collections?

Thanks for sharing Tim! Very cool to see photos of the stuff! It looks fantastic! And it is good to know it ends up in a good home.
