Angel
Promotional Items
For the full narrative of 'Angel' please refer to the entry under the SINGLES tab
Once again there is a 12" white label but of more interest from a visual point of view are various paper-based items. Firstly, included here is a counterstand which may or may not relate to when 'Angel' was originally released. The counterstand refers to the reissue of the early singles up to and including 'Angel' but there is no other reference to these singles being reissued at this time. However, given that the albums 'Like A Virgin' and the debut 'Madonna' were both also reissued around this time, this counterstand is perhaps part of a general marketing push. In addition to the counterstand there is also a display flat and the counterstand came with empty sleeves relating to the appropriate singles. All of which makes for a nice display.
There are two other additional marketing display flats that are specifically for 'Angel' namely a 'New Single' display, and a rarer 'picture disc' display. The former sells for as little as £10 while the latter can sell for £50+.
Normally, this section would be rounded off with an advert - in this case a full page b/w advert which appeared in Smash Hits - but occasionally other collectable items come to light that are neither standard issues or promotional items. For ease of reference they will be included in this section. Therefore, included below is a printer proof for the picture disc artwork. Printer proofs are extremely rare as they are normally one-off test pressings that are usually destroyed. The one below, on stiff cardboard, is a particularly nice example.
