Now I know I usually post my collection updates in the main section, but this one I really feel belongs in this section at least for a day or two because of the last 2 items (especially the last item) alone. Each are easily top 5 items for me. But of course that is just my opinion. Without further ado:
http://www.troccolitm.com/12AppJapStick.html - been looking for this one for a while not so much for the record, but for the stickers that came with it. If you look closely you will notice Japanese writing which you will not find on most of the ones that came with Appetite and Lies in Europe.
http://www.troccolitm.com/12LiesAFR.html - Armed Forces Radio version of the album.
http://www.troccolitm.com/7SweetFraTat.html - French version with tattoo.
http://www.troccolitm.com/7SweetGermTat.html - German version with tattoo.
http://www.troccolitm.com/CDYestUKStickPro.html - regular UK edition with radio promo sticker release date on front.
http://www.troccolitm.com/CDLiveEraKorPro.html - Korean promo with cool It?s Alright sticker on front. Not sure if you can see this in the photo (you?ll have to zoom in but even then the angle might be off) but the sticker is from the record company (Universal).
http://www.troccolitm.com/AdMSG91Alt.html - cool Village Voice ad from back in the day.
http://www.troccolitm.com/AdMSG91Diff.html - and another.
http://www.troccolitm.com/GNRTicketTroub.html - 2 old tickets from February 1986.
http://www.troccolitm.com/2002TourItin.html - cool tour itinerary from 2002. Many of the dates ended up being cancelled.
http://www.troccolitm.com/Wristbands.html - crew wristbands from back in the day.
http://www.troccolitm.com/VHSUYILiveTokUSPro.html - Use Your Illusion Live in Tokyo Volumes 1 and 2 packaged together (there is a unique catalogue #). And these are gold stamped promo.
http://www.troccolitm.com/UKUYISalesPresenter.html - used by those who worked for the record company to sell the albums. If you look carefully, you?ll notice this is before they decided to change the release date!
http://www.troccolitm.com/ShirtHammer.html - cool shirt from the Hammerstein shows, been looking for this for a long time after I had sold mine for $85. And it?s the size I was looking for too!
http://www.troccolitm.com/GNRWhiteVersace.html - longsleeve white Versace staff shirt.
http://www.troccolitm.com/Shirt93Jap.html - shirt from 93 Japan tour.
http://www.troccolitm.com/Shirt93JapAlt.html - and another.
http://www.troccolitm.com/ShirtSympPro.html - Sympathy For The Devil promo longsleeve shirt.
http://www.troccolitm.com/JacketGef.html - cool jacket, logo is much redder than the pictures show.
And if you think any of that was rare, wait until you get a load of these two items:
http://www.troccolitm.com/ShirtRareAsFuck.html ? 1st Guns shirt, made by the band for the band and crew when they went to the UK in June of 1987 to support Live Like A Suicide.
http://www.troccolitm.com/Ring.html - gold ring made by Alan Niven (their manager at the time) for each band member when Appetite went gold. You can see the one that was given to Slash (and then given to Marc) on the last pages of the Reckless Road book. This one belonged to Steven Adler.
