I can tell you that Strat at Charisma did print - early on ('70/'71)...promo materials to shops for his acts (I believe it was B&C distribution). There are - that I know of - VDGG promo posters from '70 (a band shot with the H TO HE font) and '71 (a Paul Whitehead poster-only illustration - ostensibly to promore PAWN HEARTS). I've seen one of the former and two of the latter in 20 years and regret not snapping them up (they all went from, say. 2000 - 2006 when I aw them for between $125 - $200). Incidentally, Strat did the same for Genesis. There's a (specific) TRESPASS poster from late '70 (which features Phil Collins who, unfortunately [because he would've immensely improved it musically] wasn't on it) and two non-specific Charisma promo posters from '71. Even though FOXTROT was the album that broke them in the UK, I don't believe Strat promted it with shop materials. But, after that (from SEBTP on) every Genesis album has had shop posters on both sides of the pond...

Have also seen a cool - but certainly less collectable - official Charisma Audience promo poster from that same era...

Oh, and another incidental...if memory serves...the Paul Whitehead promo-poster only illustration of the band for PAWN HEARTS has D JAXON pictured in full Roland Kirk double-blow mode...

My finger was on the pulse for this latest flurry. The legendary Lee Gopthal at Booze & Corruption. http://youtu.be/FXhas_gkWZs

By Mick Farren. It has the Hendrix Martin Sharp poster from OZ 15 on the cover. Nige had several packets of that poster too. I used to sell them for him for £8. Wow...cool! I believe the Tomorrow poster from this era even had the EMI catalog info for "My White Bicycle"... Here's an answer. From Twink: "Deepender, Tomorrow paid for the poster. I was living with Nigel in Beaufort St., Chelsea at the time, so I commissioned him to do it". It was nothing to do with EMI. It came from the request of the drummer directly to Nigel Waymouth. It made sense to Twink to include the cat no because Twink thinks business.

It's so fascinating to learn about these materials. What was printed and what was not. Incidentally, I've always liked the Twink single as the Aquarian Age on EMI...

Have to believe he insisted upon it, since I can't imagine Philips would have wanted that as the image to go out. The cool thing about that illustration is, up close, it's all stipple dots...

Send me a close foto of how the drawing is printed & executed - and also the remarks put on by the printer. I know some people employed by Philips Art Dept and also the person who sacked them! And I will make more inquiries for you.

I'll take close-up pictures of the poster when I'm back at the shop on Wednesday!
