Gig posters

[knuckleheadX3]

Hey everybody,

I don´t really know where to put this post so I just leave it here. Please let me know if there´s an existing thread to posters and related stuff.

I´ve found an old MP gig poster cleaning up my rehearsal room. It seems to be rather old and I cant find any hint on year, show, release date … so I thought I might consult the good old collective memory in this community.

I cant upload the poster here so I´ll try to describe it. If anyone´s interested I can send a picture via email.

The poster´s size is A2 and its (screen?)printed on thick yellow paper. It has got a thick black frame line. In the upper part you can read the old MP-lettering that blends into a doublecircle of arrows. Under that you have an empty box (for the venue / gig date). At the bottom there´s the MP tribal logo.

Since I´m from Germany (Hamburg) I guess it´s from a Germany tour but I cant say fpr sure.

Ideas anyone?

Thanx

Can anyone narrow down the year for this piece?:

Or any other information?

Behind the Sun-era, perhaps? If so, 2014.

I agree insofar as the sun-like design fits the Behind the sun-artwork.

But the poster itself seems to be much older. In the Rockheim archive its tagged with 1990 but as are a couple of other posters so I guess thats only a refernce to to the 90s as a decade.

Come to think of it, could that circle thingy be from one the vinyl sides of the 3 Songs for Rut single?

Jupp, you were right! :MPD:

I don´t own that one, but I´ve found it here:

So that makes it what – 1992? Real antique :wink: I´ll see if I find a better place for it than the pile of garbage where I found it

The poster was also used to announce the Demon Box release party at UFFA 26.2. & 27.2.1993. I have the poster😊

Why is the MP logo upside down?

Maybe to make it look a little bit satanic for the ones who know? Like when you read your name backwards?
