Sweet hauls, everybody.
I bought this poster off of moik who used to run the evol.org site....great guy!! This poster is huge, I love it.
Sonic Youth “product avalanche” - this is a poster released by Blast First after the release of Daydream Nation, and features all the Sonic Youth Blast First products: Daydream Nation, Evol, & Bad Moon Rising in vinyl, cassette, and the new technology: CD!
Those are not the actual albums on the poster - the albums are pictured on the poster.
This is a poster that I bought from a guy who used to work at Blast First, the company that used to release Sonic Youth before Geffen and after SST. I brought the posters to a Sonic Youth show about ten years ago, back when I used to do a Sonic Youth website called evol.org, and had them sign the posters for me. These auction posters have been rolled up in my closet (actually they were in the “secret room” behind my closet, for the past ten years.)
This poster is pretty big; it measures 60” x 39.5”. It has been rolled up for about twenty years (unrolled probably only to be signed) and there is some wear on some of the edges where it was rolled. In the picture it looks more wavy than it really is, I just didn’t have enough weight on it when I photographed it. It would look great if it were framed.
In the photos I rolled the poster out on a carpet and held the corners down with some paperbacks. I think you ought to be able to see the signatures - they are all there (Thurston, Lee, Kim, & Steve)
On the bottom of the poster it says:
LIVE wed 22nd thurs 23rd MARCH @ KILBURN NATIONAL give us a kiss
That would make this poster from 1989.
Awesome footage!!!
Ha ha ha....I've been looking for this forever!!
Not quite as funny as it was when I was 15 and stoned....still pretty insane though.
