Finally, if I see one of those UTD State 90 posters, Markus, you'll be the first to know!

Can I be the second to know?

OK. Speaking of posters help me out here.

Looking at the inner sleeve of The North At Its Heights there is a picture of Tunes leaning against the Eastern Bloc wall. On the wall is what looks as a mosaic of Pacific 12" back sleeves. But it isn't. Something is not right with the elements and the way it is combined.

Could it be a poster?

If it is, I just wonder why it wasn't done with the main artwork only and not the back sleeve text, barcode etc.

I've always wondered about that too.

Having studied the Pacific cover I've come to the following conclusion:

Imagine the front and back covers side-by-side. Then remove the yellow portion. Then, keeping the 808 logo in place, overlap it over another "folded out" Pacific sleeve. Enough of these would would create the mosaic in the picture. It would appear to be a poster as I can't see that anyone would want to butcher one Pacific cover, let alone the 6 that are in the picture. Unless there was a surplus of covers that eastern Bloc had managed to get a hold of? Perhaps Graham can help?

Correct. You would have to scissor around the STATE 808 and open the sleeve. Then you could do it. If done like that they have been very cautious with the glue and the stables. Looks nice. Maybe the girlfriends did it.
