Nirvana 'In Utero' Original UK Bus Stop Promotional Poster, 1993
About the Item
An oversized UK promotional poster for the September 1993 release of NIrvana's third and final studio album 'In Utero,' following the chart success of the album's lead single 'Heart Shaped Box' in August. Like frontman Kurt Cobain's lyrics, the album's promotional artwork incorporated medical imagery that conveyed his state of mind in the wake of Nirvana's newfound fame and the resultant media attention on his personal life. Promotional posters for the album featured the same artwork as the album cover, which pictured an image of a Transparent Anatomical Manikin, superimposed with angel wings. A major critical and commercial success, 'In Utero' reached number one on the US Billboard 200 and UK Albums Chart, going on to sell over 15 million copies worldwide. It would be the band's final album before the dissolution of Nirvana following Cobain's suicide in 1994.

View AllKraftwerk Original Vintage UK Concert Poster, Yeovil, 1975
Located in Devon, GB
A rare silkscreen concert poster for one of the first UK performances by German electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk at Johnson Hall in Yeovil, England, on Thursday 18th September 1975, with support from Somerset folk singer A.J. Webber. Formed as a duo in Düsseldorf in 1969 by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider, Kraftwerk had expanded to what is now regarded to be their classic quartet line-up by 1975, with the addition of Wolfgang Flür and Karl Bartos. Following the breakthrough international success of their fourth studio album 'Autobahn' and its hypnotic 22-minute title track, the foursome embarked on their first international tour to Canada and the US, before ending the tour in the UK from 5th - 20th September. Appearing on stage in matching suits...

"Join the Army at Once & Help to Stop an Air Raid" Vintage British WWI Poster
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
"Join the Army at Once & Help to Stop an Air Raid" Vintage British WWI Poster, 1915
This vintage British recruitment poster, published in 1915, calls on men to join the Army. In full, the text reads, “It is far better to face the bullets than to be killed at home by a bomb / Join the Army at once & help stop an air raid / God save the king.” On the poster, a silhouette of London lies beneath a spotlighted German Zeppelin looming above. This recruitment poster is displayed in a custom-built archival frame.
WWI was the first time British civilians were in the direct line of fire in the modern era, creating the idea of the "homefront.’" Traditionally concerned with its coastal borders, Britain was highly unprepared for a sudden and prolonged German air raid. Throughout 1915 and 1916, successive German Zeppelin attacks ravaged several cities, but most notably London. These attacks continued until 1918, but newer aircrafts were used. The Germans hoped to enrage the British people so that they would demand their government made peace. However, their plan backfired when the United Kingdom cried for German defeat...
