Record of the Week: Mixed By Fear 12" Promo

Here is the perfect example of when Front 242 design meets function. Continuing an examination of "Mixed By Fear", here is the 12" promo designated FRNT 12.
This 12" makes excellent usage of the "Tyranny Symbol" of Earth as a cut out in the sleeve, with the  black & white Front 242 logo and symbols making for a very effective visual design. The back of the sleeve repeats the "Tyranny Symbols" in contrast, with FRNT 12 and RRE information at the bottom.

Side A features "Gripped By Fear-Club Mix #02" with running time of 5:05
Side B features: "This World Must Be Destroyed"

1. DSM01  4:25
2. DSM02  2:12
3. DSM03  1:55
4. DSM04  3:37

This one can be found fairly easily and expect to pay between 25-50 Euro, depending on condition. Especially important would be the condition of the outer sleeve.

Poster of the Week: Mixed By Fear

Here we have another beautiful Front 242 poster that makes effective use of the "Tyranny" symbols. This is a poster for "Mixed By Fear". It is quite large, measuring 25 inches X 35 inches, and is on glossy paper stock.

The central "Tyranny" symbol being Earth; it is surrounded by a sea of brilliant blues and excellent use of the 242 logo. Several pictures from the Mixed By Fear photo sessions flank the bottom. My only criticism of this poster is the quality of those pictures. They are very grainy and poor, and therefore I feel that this is likely another bootleg poster! In the far right corner it states "Printed In Great Britain."

Bootleg poster or not, it is still quite striking and will someday adorn my walls once framed properly!
