    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I recall that in the 80s radio station promotional copies of albums would have gold embossed stamps, although as you say there would normally be some writing to that effect also. Similarly, some "mid-price" releases of albums had them, but again they would usually include some writing to that effect.

    Odd features added after the event to album sleeves (as opposed to, say, misprints) tend to point to some purpose affecting onwards sale, such as the practice of punch-holes, corner removal or notches in the spine.

    They were to denote that import duty/tax had been paid.

    This doesn't seem like an imprint to denote a promotional copy or as a part of a collection if you could see it you would see that it is professionally done and seems to have been done at the point of manufacture and looks almost like gold leaf which curious because of the LP title

    I've got a UK first press and it doesn't have that on it. You could try e-mailing Polydor (is it?). If they still exist that is.
