This auction ends the evening of Thursday, February 17th. Please add this item to your ' watch items ' list if you'd like to bid on it!

This auction is for the very scarce With Or Without You promo gatefold 12” release from Spain.
This is a packaging format unique to this release. It includes the outer gatefold sleeve, which has a pocket in the inner right side to hold the white label 12” as well as a double-sided insert.

A similar set sold on eBay recently for nearly $2000 – do a completed items search for # 290529080701 and it should come up.

The sleeve has some wear, particularly along the top edge and top of the spine, but there are no seam splits and no ring wear. The sleeve for the single is essentially perfect, and the vinyl single itself looks unplayed.
The other set that recently sold included a stock copy of the Spanish release for The Joshua Tree vinyl album– but I believe that was a later addition, as this gatefold would not be able to hold both the promo single and an LP. Plus, the album was originally released sometime after this single came out.

The gatefold sleeve does not have a stock number attribution, but there is an Ariola logo on the bottom right corner of the back of the sleeve.
The 12” promo has a catalogue number of 3A 608922.

Hi Everyone -- My home computer crashed on Tuesday evening (the 8th), just as I was about to list some U2 radio shows.
I'm currently having to use a computer on campus, and consequently I may be delayed in answering any questions, etc.
I hope to be up and running again by the weekend of the 12th.

I plan to list several rare U2 radio shows tonight (Wednesday the 16th) so please check my other auctions.
Thanks for everyone's interest in this auction, I really appreciate it!
