    My copy has in the upper left hand corner, the following embossed in the cover "Promotional, må ikke sälges". This is manually added to the copy past production. Does anyone have any information on this?

      Masterpiece

      With this album they became superstars in the US. 1 Million sold albums and the legendary rose bowl gig in 1988. None of their singles from that album reached the US Top 40
