    Does anyone have a copy with the hype sticker still attached to the cover, listing the singles Like a Prayer, Express Yourself, Cherish and Dear Jessie? May have been a later pressing with the same catalogue number. Please be in !

      Mine doesn't smell anymore :( It lasted until 2014. I hope when it's reissued they go to the trouble of scented covers again. Patchouli rocks!
