"CONTENTS 1 SPIKE ISLAND E.P. 1 IAN badge 1 BANANA (Ian's favourite) 1 GRASS from backstage (where the stars were) 1 CIGARETTE (the raving was good but the craving was worse) 1 PERSONAL NUMBER for entry into the big 'So Young' draw: 3 copies of the original 12" 45 are to be won. Winning numbers will be published in the music press classifieds during December 1990".
The IAN badge is actually a badge/pin of the monkey design, the BANANA is a small yellow banana shaped piece of candy, the GRASS is a small bag of grass, the CIGARETTE is a candy cigarette and the PERSONAL NUMBER is a three digit number stamped on the insert.
