An original poster designed by modern artist Mike King from 1992 featuring the English punk Buzzcocks at the Melody Ballroom in Portland and at RKCNDY (Pronounced Rock Candy) in Seattle. These posters were produced in tiny quantities for small venues on very short notice and put up on telephone poles and walls in a hurry. Ask anyone that was walking the streets of Portland or Seattle at the time and they’ll tell you it was commonplace to see these posters stapled one on top of another totaling 3-5 inches thick. The daily rain and humidity of the region took care of the rest resulting in very low percentages having survived in even decent condition. Now is the time to snap up these relics before they disappear!
