Poster of the Week: UP EVIL / OFF Store Display

Here we have a very large promotional poster by Sony/Epic for in-store display. This poster measures 12 inches by 48 inches (1 ft. by 4 ft.) and is double-sided.
It is multi-colored and printed on a thicker paper stock, likely to hold up to more vigorous usage.

The front side shows the cover art for both 1993 albums: "06:21:03:11 UP EVIL" and "05:22:09:12 OFF" albums, with a little word play "2 4 242" (e.g. two for 242); with the "Front 242" logo in gray tones on the reverse.
It is quite striking to look at, but very difficult to display nicely!

Poster of the Week: UP EVIL in-store promo

Here we have a nice promotional poster issued by RRE/Epic for in-store display of the Front 242 album release "06:21:03:11 UP EVIL". It measures 12 inches by 12 inches on card paper stock. The front features the album artwork, identical to the 12" album itself.
The reverse lists several tracks including "Religion" (Note here it lists "Burn You Down" in parenthesis. This could be confusing, as nowhere do I find this song listed in that manner...perhaps it is to help those unfamiliar with Front 242 to identify that particular song, as it was released as the first single?")
Also credited are the tracks "Crapage" "Melt" and "Hymn" and finally a blurb about Front 242 on the Lollapalooza Tour.

Overall, it is a nice piece and the cover art is still very striking and very suitable for framing. However, my only criticism would have to be that for anyone not familiar with Front 242, it would be quite difficult to locate the band name, much less the album...

Memorabilia of the Week: UP EVIL Hat

Following their stint on Lollapalooza 1993, Front toured extensively in support of their two offerings UP EVIL and OFF.  This particular item was available on that tour. The front of the hat features the "swirls" that were featured on much of the artwork and disc associated with that album and "242" stitched on the reverse. It is nylon, "one-size-fits-all" and was not made available from Transmission 242. Mine is a little dusty from being in storage... perhaps it's time to get it out for a little wear...?
