RIP Doug Inglis of Goddo
I just read that Goddo drummer Doug Inglis apparently passed away the other day of unspecified causes. That's a shame. He was one of my favourite drummers back in...
Iggy Pop | 1978 German Tour Poster
I’d love to tell you that this poster is a memento of that time I saw Iggy Pop in Germany way back in the ’70s. But that would be...
J. Geils Band | Original 1981 Freeze Frame Promo Posters
Freeze Frame is not my favourite J. Geils Band album. Not by a long shot.
That honour, without question, would go to Live Full House, their killer 1972 concert set...
Rolling Stones | 1982 German Tour Poster
I honestly didn't realize how many damn Rolling Stones posters I had until I started photographing them all to post them here. I've got group shots, individual album covers,...
KISS | Animalize Promo Poster
Comedy and tragedy can be two sides of the same coin. This post-apocalyptic promo poster for KISS’s 1984 album Animalize illustrates that quite succinctly, I would say. On the...
Tom Petty | Vintage Hard Promises Album Promo Poster
I don't have any Tom Petty stories to share that I haven't posted already. So, to go with my vintage promo poster for Petty's 1981 album Hard Promises, here...
Pretenders | Ultra-Rare Cardboard Promo
Here's an interesting, one-of-a-kind item: A wing-shaped, die-cut promo poster for The Pretenders. It's dated 1981 and was created by their label Sire Records, so I presume it was...

Dave Edmunds | Large D.E. 7th Promo Poster
For me, Dave Edmunds will always be one of the acts that got away. I never interviewed the Welsh singer-guitarist and former Rockpile member, despite making a couple of...
Usher | All About U: Ultra-Rare Advance Promo Box
Over the decades, I've amassed an absurdly huge archive of physical music. I would conservatively estimate I've got somewhere between 40,000 and 50,000 pieces of CDs and vinyl. Naturally,...
The Tubes | Rare 1981 Completion Backward Western Canada Tour Poster
I do not remember where or when I first came across The Tubes — I suspect I saw their picture in Circus, Creem, Hit Parader or one of the...
The Pretenders | First Album Promo Poster
I haven't written many of these posts since the pandemic began, for a few reasons: 1) Showing off vintage live posters seemed weird at a time when there were...
Tom Petty | Rolling Stone Cover Poster
Here's something you don't see every day: A poster-sized reproduction of an old Rolling Stone cover featuring Tom Petty. I honestly have no idea how, where or when I...
The Go-Go’s | Rare 1982 Western Canada Tour Poster
For my money, The Go-Go's didn't get the respect they deserved. At least, not back in the day. When the all-female L.A. quintet first appeared in the early ’80s,...
