Guns N’ Roses | Rare 1980s Promo Poster
Most of the time, I have a story that goes along with these posters — or at least some vague recollection of when and where I got the damn...
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...
Flo & Eddie | Vintage Tour Poster
Since I just posted my interview with Mark Volman, it seemed like a good time to toss up this ancient Flo & Eddie live poster I found in my...
Randy Newman | Rare 1980s Concert Poster
You can't win them all. Here's one that I lost out on: I had front-row tickets to these solo shows by Randy Newman in Edmonton in the early 1980s....
Late-Night TV Music (Diversity Edition) | Nov. 13, 2018
Diversity is always a good thing. And diversity is exactly what you got from Tuesday's late-night TV music lineup, which veered wildly from proggy art-rock to down-home country and...
The 53rd Grammy Awards | Official Recording Academy Promo Poster
Since we've been talking about award shows a bunch this week, it seemed like a good time to peck out a few words to go with this poster from...
The Bangles | Everything Promo Poster & Banner
The Go-Go's have been getting a lot of love lately, and deservedly so. They were obviously groundbreakers. But I'd also like to see their underrated peers The Bangles get...
The Dickies | Killer Klowns Promo Poster
If you don't know who The Dickies are, I feel sorry for you. Because you are clearly missing out on one of the most amazing punks bands of all...
The Cars | First Album Promo Poster
I never had a chance to see The Cars back in the day — or on their brief 2011 reunion. But that's OK.
I am content to listen to my...
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...
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...
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...
Urge Overkill | Saturation Double-Sided Promo Poster
Here's one of the more interesting promotional items I've acquired over the years: A two-sided, circular cardboard poster for Urge Overkill's landmark 1993 album Saturation.
I actually pulled it out...
John Lee Hooker | Rare 1980s Canadian Concert Poster
What's your definition of the good old days? Mine would definitely include being able to go see John Lee Hooker at a local bar three nights in a row...
