Gorillaz 'Do Ya Thang' sealed vinyl single + 3 Converse postcards

It's official - as far as I can tell from the info printed on the sleeve (see photos) but maybe it was an Australian edition, or direct from Converse, and was used in order to promote Converse's Chuck Taylors Gorillaz Collection.

Apart from that, I can't tell you much about the single, as it's not opened, BUT I can tell you that there were two versions released:

* A Promotional CD single with the radio edit of "DoYaThing" ( 4:26mins) and "DoYaThing" (full-length version) – 13:04mins  (which I believe this is)
* A 10" Record Store Day vinyl with a white background to the cover (which clearly this isn't), with the full length "DoYaThing" version – 13:09 mins, limited to 1000 copies worldwide.

I'm not sure, but it was probably a freebie for anyone who bought a pair of the Gorillaz Converse, as I have a sticker from that freebie on my laptop. MAybe it's an Aussie thing?

I will pack all vinyl with stiff cardboard and strong packaging to ensure they get to their new owners in the same condition I sent them, but of course, can't take responsibility for damage or loss by the postal service (though I don't anticipate any, the packing will hopefully eliminate the chances of that happening).

UPDATE WITH NEW INFO ABOUT THIS VINYL!!!

Apparently this auction has come to the attention of Reddit's Gorillaz sub-reddit, where folks were asking if it was a bootleg or something.  I checked the photos I posted here for the auction, and looked up 'Dontpaniconline', the name on the back of this vinyl's cover, and this is what I can add:

I bought this single as you see it here, on eBay just after DYT came out.... and as the vinyl was sealed when I got it, and I kept it that way, I have no idea if it's 'bootleg' or not BUT  I had no idea this was anything unusual until I put this up for auction with most of my G stuff last week, and have had multiple people asking me about it.

ON INVESTIGATION JUST NOW, Dontpaniconline.com seems to be a music, culture and/or event promoter, which is currently promoting the heck out of Gorillaz 'Demon Dayz' tour, so make of that what you will, but I don't think this single is any kind of bootleg: I think it may have been a promo item or a prize when DYT came out.

So, in short, I stick by my guns in saying it's official, but since absolutely nobody seems to have any knowledge about the darn thing, but it was most likely put out by Dontpaniconline.com (as it states on the back cover) it could be something incredibly special :)
