Open Your Heart
7" Single with Foldout Poster
This is the first of no fewer than four entries that appear in this 'Bootleg' section which all originated from the same seller! See also 'Causing A Commotion', 'Who's That Girl' and 'Holiday' (1991). The seller concerned claimed to have a friend at the pressing plant who had access to test pressings.
This item raises suspicion mainly because it is a format - a 7" with mini poster - that was never sanctioned in the UK by Sire. There are only two official 7" issued with any form of a poster and both of these were issued as posterbags ('Gambler' and 'Express Yourself') rather than with separate inserted posters. It is a format that has already been the cause of contention with regard to the more (in)famous 'Material Girl' 7" with withdrawn poster, which is also featured in this section.
Further suspicion arises from the fact that the sticker shown on the UK 7" originates from the German 12" release of 'Papa Don't Preach'.
