I have this large poster (101x151 cm) advertising the Royal Albert Hall concert, and was wondering if these were actually used to promote the gig or if it's a fake. Not that it matters much, it's been on my wall for ages and I love it, but I've always wondered.

A beauty!

They were indeed but yours might still be a fake. I obviously hope it's not.

Perhaps you could post a bigger picture in the gallery section ? 'd be very nice of you.

I'm pretty sure that looks absolutly splendid on your wall, fake or not.

I had one of them, bought it at the Barras way back when......

they weren't the real deal but damn fine quality

I had one similar to that too. It was a bit bigger though, over 2m high and had a white border around the edge. Picked it up at a Sisters convention at Leeds Astoria way back circa '89 if memory serves me right. Damn fine poster too. Had quite a few large Mish posters up at the time also but they all looked a bit twee in the same room as this monster

i've got the same postcard
it seems to be an original
lucky man

Thanks for clearing that up. Nice to know it's at least similar to the ones actually used. Fake or not, it certainly is striking. I've had it hanging at my workplace and I was surprised at the amount of comments. Powerful imagery going on

Will do. Just need to get my camera out.

I swear I own that same poster...this is bugging me, now. Where the f*ck *is* it?

I've got one too!!

It was the first Sissies poster I got in about '88 or '89 when it was all so new to me... ah them were the days

Uploaded. I included a snap of my Reptile House poster too, although I think it's hideous. Shocking pink? What were they thinking? What was I thinking when I bought it?

Like wise but I only had a photocopy .Seeing it again brings back some memories.

Very nice. I have one of those as well, regular poster measurements but with a white border around the edge.

that one and the reptile house one are now added to the gallery. thanks

On the matter of posters, I grabbed one of ebay that made me laugh hard. Seems to be a Detroit 06 one.

Damn, that looks cool. Anyone ever get one of those pics from the 2006 tour which looked completely trippy (think it was the Vegas gig one)?
I wanted one of those quite badly.

That is f**king awful!

my albert hall poster is 5' x 3' 6" (that's feet and inches, mainlanders-buggered if i can convert that to metric off the top of my head).
i bought it in late '85 and they weren't at all the real deal, as they had . "altamont: a festival of rememberance" and "silence is platinum" etc slogans at the bottom. however they are f**king awesome. i've also got a floodland (album cover) one the same size and until my two year old ripped it to shreds (anyone else would pushing up daisies by now) i had a vision thing (iffy band photo) one as well.

i thought mr.blast and SINny were on about my post then -a hasty back-track found this, and i find myself once again wondering whether we secretly threw the war of independece (figuring any country that can't speak it's own national language were automatically one-down to about 42 welshmen, that professor stanly unwin guy and brummies...

** exemptions to my completely fictional dislike of americans being of course SINsister,martin petseri(and any other hard-to-bring-to-mind-but-doubtless existing cool US HLers ); jello biafra ;and christina aguilera.
and "south park".

I'm afraid of Amerikkkans, myself.

ha! so why have one of the dodgiest pillow-case wearing stupid-nazi-wanker groups in the world have a name that sound like a Mongolian rap ensemble?

Eh? The only Mongolian ensemble I know of doesn't exactly rap...

i also used to like Christina Aguilera before she got married.

Ugly poster that new one.
