		Collecting Rare Music Posters by Pete Howard In September of 1995, the collector’s magazine Goldmine ran this 22,000-word article of mine as a cover story, even turning their cover into a mock poster itself. For the purposes of this site, I recently went through the article and updated many of the facts that had changed, and added new things that have come to light during the ensuing 15 years. I also divided the article into two pieces, Concert Posters and Promo Posters. Nothing was edited out for space reasons (this being the Internet). This article is now copyright 2009 by PosterCentral.com, and may not be reproduced in any portion without permission – but don’t hesitate to ask, we like to work with people. We’re very proud of the authority and accuracy of this long article, but please be sure to let us know of any updates, corrections or additions you might have. Thanks… and enjoy!
