"Early UK copies were sold in a plastic carrier bag with "Shoplifter" printed on one side, and the cover art printed on the other side. "
But these were made of bio-degradable plastic and literally disintegrate after time. Note how no one mentions the carrier bag in the listing. I have the remnants of about 5 of these bags.
