The B-52s yellow plastic carrier bag came with initial copies of 'Wild Planet' in the UK, NOT with the debut LP. I bought both albums the first week of release and have no knowledge of a carrier bag coming with the first album. The only freebie with the debut was the 'Rock Lobster' 1978 US 45 repress.
