Good luck in your search!
Gabby I think you mentioned you had bought the lenticular Smash poster. Is it worth it?
I was thinking of getting it.
Personally yeah, I'm glad I bought it. I think it's a nice addition to the Smash vinyl box set, resulting in a similar vibe to the Alternative lenticular box cover, which as i understand was the plan but never materialized.

I have one, but haven't been able to hang it yet as my "office" space was recommissioned. But I was thinking it would look good mounted on 12x12 canvas and installed in a floater frame, rather than trap it behind glass.
For your own good, call me tonight.

Ah, yes. I think framing it would be nice. Eye-catching and it "moves" so to speak so putting it in a spot where you can view it at different angles is important.

I have prints and such but nothing framed. I have enough family paintings to hang on the walls still. Been meaning to get around to it for literally years, so there's little hope of these getting any wall space for a while.

I ripped this poster down in Stockholm in 2002. Someone drew a penis on the poster with a pen, but I managed to erase it. I've always had it leaning against the wall for over 20 years.

I have mine framed. It looks good. It still “moves”, even behind glass.
Woof.

It was a concert at Skansen. I had to hide the poster under my T-shirt, as I tore it off right in the center of Stockholm. This poster is very nice and atmospheric. The design is super. It has been with me for many phases of my life and my wife likes it too.
Probably the best PSB concert ever, as they sang everything live, guitars and drums. I remember it rained a little bit. And I took a picture with Chris and Neil afterwards, they were both laughing. Yeah, there was a different attitude towards Russians back then.
