A Visual Gallery of Alternative Sleeves
Please be aware that some of the items shown here are (fan made?) bootlegs, such as the Bolivian/Paraguay 7" singles and most definitely the sudden influx of so-called Japanese promos in admittedly high quality and attractively presented sleeves. These items are very suspect as they include a 'promo' for 'Everybody' which was not released in Japan, and singles released after Japan ceased to produce a promotional singles. The last single that had an official promotional release was 'Express Yourself' in 1989.
As far as the unique promotion-only Japanese inserts are concerned, only the following four are believed to be official:
Like A Virgin - (Pink tinted sleeve)
Crazy For You - Test press vinyl (red tinted sleeve)
Crazy For You - with Quarterflash track on the B-side. (alternate Red tinted sleeve)
Papa Don’t Preach (Black & White sleeve)
