However, the poster is definitely from before 1993, as that year the postal codes in Germany changed from four-digit to five-digit.
In 2008, they brought Billy Brag to Hamburg ...Victim of Circumstance wrote:Not sure re this.

...Not sure if that seemingly plausible story would fit the timescale with TOL coming out just when they stopped gigging. Could it be a poster for German indie record shops stocking the single back then, who were unaware of niceties such as correct font and definite article ?czuczu wrote:I'm going to guess an 83 gig poster where the venue info would be added in the white strip at the bottom

Am still not convinced, as this would have been printed months before Temple of Love was released (in October 83). Were these not the first (and only for a long time) gigs where ToL was performed ? The promoter must have been very well-informed. As I think I've said before, IIRC the Sisters were lining up a much lengthier tour to promote ToL but Gunn's abrupt departure in September seemed to put an end to that.xfloorshowx wrote:When I bought the bootleg Live at Kir-Club from a german collector many years ago he included this poster and a ticket for the gig... so yes I'm pretty sure it was used as a tour poster.

I walked right on to that one, didn't I ?I think it was delayed to let a sisters roadie get his effort out firstNikolas Vitus Lagartija wrote:Yea, you're right. And ToL was supposed to be released in September originally (according to the ZigZag interview) but like all MRs there seemed to be some slippage in the release date.

...True.brunobossier wrote:Well, if Temple of Love was originally supposed to be released in September 83, then it makes perfect sense the German dates were planned around the end of August, early september.
