Never seen it before. Beware of buying posters from eBay though, as most people sell re-prints at an original price. :no:

I would suggest it is a copy.  Only because LLAS didn't really have any promo, think about it, 10,000 copies really wouldn't warrant promotional material like this, even more so considering it was self financed.

If you're asking 'legit' as this was officially put out by the band at the time of LLAS, no it was not.

I used to have this same poster back in the late 80s (during the high school years, while still living with the parents). It was one of the many GNR posters making the rounds. It definitely came out way after LLAS did.

The paper stock was kinda light and flimsy. Is it worth at least $49? Best guess is no, since it was widely produced available, at least here in the States.

If it was a few bucks, I'd say yes, get it. But don't buy this at a high price. Search around, you may be able to find it cheaper.

The fact it's from England makes me think even more that it isn't an original.

If it's promoting "Lies" then it may be legit, but it seems to be for "LLAS". I don't think G&R would have promoted that album, especially on a full color poster and overseas.

i would say fake as well since gnr only printed 10,000 copies of llas anyway
