Bowie  Manchester

The single became the band's second UK top 10 hit, but achieved perhaps even greater worldwide prominence throught its use in the soundtrack of the 2001 film 'Donnie Darko'. Scarce.

Amazing double-sided in-store hanging mobile. The artwork was a reworking by the acclaimed Science Fiction and NASA artist of his famous October 1953 Astounding Science Fiction cover.
The album and lead single 'We Are The Champions' were hugely succesful.

Breakfast in America, with its memorable sleeve, was a huge international hit for the band.

Appropriately known as the "Good-Bye Britain Tour", this was their first proper UK tour since 1966, launched just before their disastrous tax affairs forced them into the two year exile that was to result in the recording of 'Exile On Main Street'.

Reproductions exist - this is the genuine original poster.

Like Morrissey for the Smiths, Jerry Dammers maintained an intense obsession to detail over the look and design of 2Tone's output. David Storey is now a highly regarded fine artist. Original 2Tone poster material is hard to find.

This original promo poster is signed by the original band members (almost certainly at the time).

'Dare' was the first really successful mixing of electronic sounds with pure pop and was a huge, almost inescapable, hit in the UK and the US. It effectively marked the end of post-Punk experimentalism and waved ashore the on-coming tidal wave of 80's pop.

Barney Bubbles, arguably the finest British designer in music of his generation, contributed elements to the inner sleeve artwork of the elaborately packaged album. The lp cover (at bottom) is not by Bubbles but the boat and sun design employed here (on this rare and gorgeous poster) and the remarkable flower and leaf framing, not present on the lp, almost certainly is.

On 4th March 1967, Big Brother and the Holding Company played with the Steve Miller Band in 'a benefit for peace', 'Journey to the End of Night', at the U.C.S.F. medical center Steninger auditorium. Printed by The Bindweed Press, San Francisco.

Scarce original promo poster for Talking Heads' brilliant fourth album, arguably their best, revealing the full development of their earlier Afro-polyrhythmic experiments. Their last collaboration with Brian Eno, they re-emerged three years later with an increasingly commercial sound.

Original 'Anarchy..' posters are very scarce, no doubt due to EMI dropping the band like a hot potato and aborting promotion of the single after the Grundy debacle, but this smaller size version is particularly rarely seen. Beware numerous repros.

The Jam's energetic debut was an immediate attention grabber, which they famously found hard to develop from for the ever-tricky second lp. The title track was one of Punk's enduring early classics, whilst 'Away From The Numbers' pointed towards Weller's future songwriting maturity. This poster is in excellent rolled condition.
