18.07.03: thanks to mark, here are three very interesting pictures... RARE promo stuff sent by fiction records just before the release of "scenes from the second storey" in february 1993... but now it is quite special because you can only see them with the following links:

fiction sandpaper mailing promo #1
fiction sandpaper mailing promo #2
fiction sandpaper mailing promo #3

... why these links ? well, now, i have a real problem with the thumbnails on the "pictures" page... i don't know why i can't create three thumbnails (??? the links don't work ???) from the three mark's pictures. well, computers often drive me mad... :-(... so, i need to be patient, i must try again and i hope i will find a solution in a coming future...
