Just found a long-forgotten Yield promo sign

in The Porch
My father-in-law has recently sold his house and we were helping him clear out the garage at the weekend. This was tucked away behind some tools:

It was used in an HMV store in Sydney when Yield came out and somehow my wife got her hands on it when they'd finished the 'new release' promotions. It's been in the garage for about 15 years and she'd completely forgotten about it! It was originally attached to a metal post in the store but there was no sign of that anywhere (I think her Dad chucked that part out).
I have no idea if it's a PJ promo item or just an instore HMV thing - it's pretty cool though :)

    This would've been the perfect item included in the Vinyl Boxedset, but noooo Mr.Ament would rather build "SkateParks" for "PunkKids"" than give the fans what they deserve. Now we're all stuck with standard reissues at prices that "anyone" can afford. Where's the band I used to shell out all my money too?

    It's way too big to be included in a box set. It's a full size metal sign that would be way too heavy and expensive to ship

    Only to those not willing to pay, not "true" fans I say! If you aren't willing to "put up or shut up" for this fine band from Seattle, then maybe Nickleback is more your speed.

    Way more than $20 shipping. Can you imagine the threads about that postage cost?? :fearful::lol:

    They had one of those on the wall at Pub Anchor here in Stockholm for many years...maybe they still do come to think of it? Haven't been there in a long time now.

    Here's mine. It has spray paint on the back from them being stacked on top of each other.

    These things are like snowflakes. The "Pearl Jam" is sprayed on a different place on each one. No two are alike.
