It’s strange to think that out there in the world there are U2 branded disco balls, miniature toy cars emblazoned with Madonna’s logo, or even prophylactics from dutch metal band, Hammerfall. This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the memorabilia that record companies have produced to help promote artists on their roster, and if you are looking for that interesting piece to add to your collection then you have come to the right place.
We’ve picked out a few of the rare and interesting highlights we have in stock, and you can find the full catalogue of what’s available over at eil.com
KATE BUSH Kate Bush Tour (Rare 1979 UK 12-page colour tour programme, features stunning pictures of Kate with facsimile handwritten letter on the front cover, along with three untorn colour postcards of Kate on stage, five lilac/white tour flyers, unused ‘Kate Bush Club’ application form and ‘Kate Bush Club’ letter from the fan club secretary with space for comments on reverse. All presented in a superb custom A4 textured colour picture folder with stylised portrait of Kate on the front and back cover, tour dates on the inside front cover and Kate picture on the inside back cover.
