One of the good things of the old vinyl times is that some albums included posters (or other memorabilia) which are difficult if not impossible to include in CD-size releases (I did not buy any vinyl for decades so I don't know if modern vinyl releases still sometimes include such stuff).

This is a thread to remember those, if possible please include pics.

I will start with Dark Side Of The Moon which included 2 posters and 2 stickers (if I remember well in the Spanish edition we had at home when I was a kid the posters were actually a 2-sided poster but I believe that the original UK versions had 2 separate posters).

Pyramids poster



Band poster



Day sticker



Night sticker

I don't have any pics, but one of the best ones was The Who Live at Leeds which came with a poster, a load of photos and letters.

Best one I can think of is Man's "Be Good To Yourself At Least Once A Day" which contained a fold out map of "Man's Guide to Wales" & on the inner sleeve, Deke Leonard's "Man Family Tree".

Notice that Roger Waters got 2 pics in the poster, he was already starting to show his ego LOL

Also weird that both Gilmour's and Waters' close up pics seem to have been 'mirrored', looking as if they were left-handed players. Curious as to how did that come to happen.

Surprised to see that nobody's mentioned the big poster that accompanies Floyd's Ummagumma. I had that one nailed to the wall for about a decade or so. Now it's pretty much dead though.... Too many mad activities performed in it's presence.

Also, the new Vespero album Subkraut, which I bought as a blue double vinyl thing, has this poster featuring an old school submarine "cockpit". Pretty cool - although I haven't yet ornamented my apartment with it.

The best insert ever was the giant rolling paper in Cheech & Chong's Big Bambu album.  A few of my friends and I actually rolled a three ounce joint in one of those papers when we saw the Grateful Dead on New Year's Eve at the Winterland Arena in 1977.  Cool

Damn, can't do pics coz I'm so computer illiterate (?Head on wall - one day I'll learn...)  but I have to mention my Sabbath's 'Master of Reality' came with a poster of the band looking relatively mellow in a forest. 
oh, and Chicago V has a large poster of the band and a long strip-like poster too.  And Chicago Live at Carnegie Hall has all sorts of things - a *massive* wall poster (like, the size of a bedroom wall, entirely.......), a smaller one and also a booklet.

My import copy of PFM's Chocolate Kings came with a poster with the lyrics, and depicting a blow up of the photo on the cover of the fat lady. (Kind of like a repulsive take on Marilyn Munroe, and i mean repulsive!)

Radiohead released a "newspaper edition" of King of Limbs with a full newspaper and blotter paper LOL. They released a cryptic limited newspaper before it for promotion called "The Universal Sigh".  

I sure think that album is under-appreciated Cool






Lots of pics here:

My copy of Battles' Gloss Drop came with a glossy, big poster of the cover. It's actually really cool, looks really good on the wall.

This is very obscure, even for many Spanish. Miniatura was an Avant-Garde / Proto-Prog band who released a single EP in 1969, considered by some to be the seed of what would become much of Catalan Prog and Avant-Garde music in the 70's.
It included a cut-out for building a "Venus Landing Module" including representations of the 4 band members (the EP quoted that this was "the debut album by the conquerors of Venus").
