COLLECTING RARE MUSIC POSTERS By Pete Howard

In September of 1995, the collector’s magazine Goldmine ran this 22,000-word article of mine as a cover story, even turning their cover into a mock poster itself.  In early 2007, I went through the story and updated many of the facts that had changed, and added new things that have come to light, in the previous 12 years. I also divided the story into two pieces, Concert Posters and Promo Posters.  Nothing  was edited out for space reasons (this being the Internet). This story is now copyright 2007 by PosterCentral.com, and may not be reproduced in any portion without permission – but don’t hesitate to ask, we like to work with people.

The good news is, you don’t have to read 20,000+ words off your computer screen… we offer the story here as a pair of downloadable PDFs, which you can print out and read off paper.  Be sure to let us know if you have any updates, corrections or additions!
