Recently found this one, looks like the genuine shit? Original 1993 japanese promo, anyone? If it is... how big are the chances to find this one sealed...?

And what's up with the syringe, and the story behind that?

What's "promo" about it? The tiny sticker? It looks like a standard Japanese commercial release to me.

[StarsAtHome]

Due to the sticker on the back that says "sample", yes.

Ah, it is different to the commercial one:

Bingo.

I really wonder what the bleeding needle stands for? :unsure:/>
(Give blood campaign or something more trash?).
Sadly I can't decipher japanese.

Edit: Great copy by the way.

sealed japanese promos are cool and not that easy to find. but i don't consider them too rare either.

[StarsAtHome]

Yeah.. I just couldn't keep my hands off, getting it for $17.

[CoolAsIceCream]

that's a good price.

also, my non-promo copy of SD also comes with that obi. so the obi with the purple around the barcode isn't exclusive to the promo.

i think the commercial copy on spreaks.com is from a post-'93 pressing. (i'll let them know.)

[StarsAtHome]

Yeah, I also bought one japanese copy (w/ OBI) from www.hmv.co.jp back in, I think 2008 (dunno what year that was pressed though, but must be pretty late since it was available in 2008) and the red box (with japanese text) differs from this version as there's only one line of text. And there's no purple back on the OBI.

[CoolAsIceCream]

that must look like this copy then: http://www.spfreaks....DETAILS&item=47

[StarsAtHome]

Yeah, that's the one. Notice the slightly different OBI on front?

[CoolAsIceCream]

yep.
