Promo Posters & Displays Pg. 2
It’s easy to determine the year (and even month) of origin for promo posters & displays tied to a specific record. But there are also “generic” promo pieces that simply promoted the artist and their record label, such as “Little Esther on Federal Records.” These could obviously have a longer shelf life, sometimes years. If an old promo piece was displayed for years it’s often faded from the cruel sun or record-store lights.
Promo posters were usually made of paper, and displays always made of cardboard. Other than that, they ranged from tiny to huge, from B&W to wildly colorful, from simple to highly imaginative. Check out a few of these exciting promo posters and displays shown here, and feel free to submit your own images (from the 1960s or older) for evaluation, discussion and possible inclusion here. And remember, I pay top dollar for vintage record-company promo posters and displays of this nature.
