Here’s the promo ad for the Japanese release of third album ‘A Happy Pocket’, which appeared in ‘Rockin’ On’ magazine.

No idea what it says, but it does list the song names just under the word Can!

…until you’ve heard ‘I’ve Seen Everything’

This promotional advert appeared in most UK music magazines including Q. If you have a wee search around eBay, you can get yourself a framed copy of this for not a lot of money – if you like that sort of thing.

Here’s a promotional ad from Japanese publication ‘Rockin’ On’ advertising the re-issued release of the ‘Snow EP’.

This was the one which had the additional DVD bonus which included three songs – ‘Got Carried Away’, Trouble Sleeping’ and ‘Snow’ – from their 2005 show at Club Quattro, Tokyo.

…Record. It’s on Stage and it’s on Film.

Busy, busy, busy eh?

Here’s a small A5 flyer to promote the release of single ‘Twisted & Bent’, a live tour supporting Ian McNabb (see Icicle Works) and their blockbuster movie ‘Spooktime’ – dished out during one of the band’s more productive periods.

Thanks Mr Hartley.

What Does It All Mean?

To promote second album ‘I’ve Seen Everything’, Go! Discs thought it would be a good idea to run a series of anagrams.

These appeared in various music press, t-shirts, CD promos and most famously on a fence at the 1993 Phoenix Festival.

It is widely believed the band weren’t too keen on this idea and distanced themselves from what was described as “…an obscene insult masquerading as a marketing ploy…”

Here’s such an ad from Q Magazine…
