However this was the best I think....
The whole ad and promotional campaign for Floodland was superbly executed, those ad's in the NME that mentioned neither the band or title of the song were very smart.

thanks, but my wife would not agree with you
I think I might need to find these beauties a new home or its back to flat-pack for another 25 years

There might be some in the Sisters Scrapbook that is in the sharing section somewhere.
Edit;
found the link,but the original post contains a megaupload link,so that's probably buggered.

I'll try and post a couple of pics (assuming I can find them).
Ref the Floodland boxes, I think I'm going to sell them rather than put them back into storage, so if anyone is interested, either as singles or as a job lot, send me a pm. I'll post in the trading section as well.

yes - that's the stuff, there was a series of clever ad's that in some cases never mentioned the bands name, albeit it was signed Eldritch......

did you ever notice how the one which later became the lyrical content of the TC demo made an 'E' shape
yes, flood land, lucretia and more were all in that style from memory
