Re: Buttons, Badges, Posters

[John Johanneson <JOHANNESON@macc.wisc.edu>]

My favorite button is a Empty Glass promo that has the 'in your face'
shot of Pete's nose from the 'Rough Boys' 45 sleeve artwork. It's not
very big, but certainly striking.

I agree with Kevin on the merits of the Empty Glass 'elongated portrait'
poster, but have also always liked the Face Dances promo poster with
a B/W shot of the band against the day-glo orange background with the
paint tube. It doesn't look like much in the Max R&B book, but in
real-life the color paint tube on the B/W photo is a slick effect.

A friend of mine has a poster that I desire to the point that if her
insurance company ever saw how I look at it they would raise her life premiums.
It's got the cover from Quadrophenia, and then below it the 'dictionary
definition' (BTW, no sign of 'quadrophenia' in the OED. I was hoping some
Who fan might've slipped it into the second edition). Anyone else seen
this one?
