Japanese Promo Items

Heres a page of Japanese Promo Items you may or may not have seen.

Some are RARE as fuck... and some can find with a bit of sneaky searching. Cheers

 

1. Damage Justice Promo Tour booklet

This was given away for free during the 89 Japan tour. As you can imagine most people would have thrown their copy out.  VERY RARE ! I've only found 1 copy since 2001.

5. RELOAD - PROMO Velvet Folder + Game

 A beautiful velvet folder with some kind of crap Metallica game inside. Contains release info, game cards, single release info in Japanese. 

 

 6. POP OUT Card PROMO Cardboard stands

 All were given away to music stores to display on the counter to promote new albums. Very hard to get since most stores would have thrown them out.  The earlier the albums the rarer. Not sure what it is about these good cardboard stands but I love these bitches.

 

 

 7. Death Magnetic - Promo Kit for stores

Promo kit given to stores to display in their shops. I was lucky enough to get a copy from a staff who ive been shopping at for many years - Paid the twat dutch price for this crap though - fucken prick ! You gotta understand in Japan even if you offer big money to shop assistants for promo goods they will still say NO as its against store policy. 

  The bottom left hand sheet of stickers was given to all customers who purchased a copy of Death Magnetic in the first week of sales. Was only given by 1 selected shop. Different stores were giving away different things like posters, stickers etc etc.

 

 8. My HOLY GRAIL ! Garage Days - Quiz Sheet Prize

For you fuckers who have the Japanese Garage days Cd or EP you will notice a quiz sheet inserted in it. If you answered it and got majority correct then you would be sent this RARE RARE RAREEEEEEEEE prize ! An A4 size plastic. Info on the back is all in Japanese about Metallica. I'm not sure why but I love this item so much I offered 1 store over $US 1000 for it but they still said no ! What fucken twats huh ?! Ive seen 3 copies in the last 10 years. 2 at the stores who rejected my $1000+ offer and then of course my copy ! GOOD LUCK finding this bitch !
