Promotional Flyer for Stiff Little Fingers 1979 UK Tour
- London: Rough Trade, 1978
London: Rough Trade, 1978. Very good plus.. Flyer promoting the second date, at Manchester's famed Factory, of Stiff Little Finger's UK tour after the surprise success of their first album - an interesting document in the development of one of the most important indie record labels. Rough Trade, who issued this flyer, began as a London record shop and soon expanded to tour promotion and music releases under their own imprint. Yet it wasn't until the unexpected success of Stiff Little Finger's first album INFLAMMABLE MATERIAL (it debuted at #14 on the UK charts) on Feb. 3rd, 1979 that Rough Trade was truly established as a force in the UK music scene. Also on the bill are Robert Rental, Essential Logic, and Daniel Miller's The Normal. Miller would use his experience at Rough Trade to later launch Mute Records, another key UK post-punk indie. 8.25'' x 12''. Offset flyer printed black on red recto only. Mild wear at edges. In black marker, a contemporary hand has added: "Factory / Feb 16th."
