My question only relates to the NZ pressing and most likely only those who bought it new will be able to answer, if they still have it, or can remember! 
Did this come with the poster that other markets got?
I am not talking about the insert/tracklist/personnel credits/play loud etc., I mean the colour poster of the band, with two Micks.
In Decca markets the poster has their logo, in the US the logo in the corner is London. On some early NZ pressings, the back cover says "Insert included" top right. (Or can say "stereo"). So this describes the insert.
Anyone?
TIA!

Was a huge Stones fan back then and did buy it on release. Sadly can't remember a thing about it and long gone.

I have an 80s Australasian re-issue bought new.
Back cover has "Stereo" top right.
But no insert or poster.

Thanks Papa.
I know the NZ Discogs listings for this LP and that fact somebody has added a note saying "Comes with a free poster" is not enough for me. Any mention of the poster has so far just been on the insert, that was overseas artwork copied here with HMV (NZ)'s name overlaid.
NZ versions of overseas releases are notorious for being cost-saving, ie, no gatefold/rear cover not in colour/no cut-outs/ non-textured sleeves, etc. So I'm betting it wasn't part of the NZ release but would love to know one way or the other!

No revelations here, have a 1969 NZ copy with the insert shown in Discogs but no poster.

Yes - I recall buying my copy of XTC Go2 to find it didn't have the insert that was required to complete the typewritten graphic on the back cover.
We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

Ditto XTC English Settlement.
Not many realised the NZ/Aus release was missing the whole second disc !
