repro EPI posters

Post by simonm »

PSA: three nice screen printed posters from Boo-Hooray for sale in the UK - this used to be a bricks and mortar shop in London, but now online only. The posters are £120 each which is a lot, but not massively excessive imo - i was considering the Chrysler Art Museum one myself, but they're bigger than i thought, about 66 x47 cm

Is the shop you refer to the one that used to be in Cecil Court, off Charing Cross Road? I used to love going in there. Don't think I ever bought anything though!

these were around about 10-15 years ago thought the Memorial Hall one was in red and green not black. Little expensive but they were very high quality.

Are these repros of what had been contemporary posters, or new designs in a retro style?

Well maybe if you did it'd still be open!

I hadn't seen the Provincetown one before, but i think they are all 1960s designs - have seen the first 2 reproduced elsewhere.

I know the one you mean, was near where I used to work, nice shop, closed in 2020 like a lot of others. It had a small record section in the back for a while that I got a few things from (Pretty Things, King Curtis, Blind Boys of Alabama...), but this was a bigger shop, i think on the edge of Spitalfields Market - a bit off the beaten track for me.

£120 seemed a lot until I realised that they are silkscreened and from an original limited Boo-Hoo run. I presume the originals were printed edge-to-edge, but I guess an added white border makes framing them easier. I had the idea that these posters were in Alfredo's first book, but I just got it out and his book what ads for gigs in there are all press-clippings I think. So I wonder whether these concert bill-board posters have ever appeared in a book?

I'd forgotten, but yes, they are in the Boo-Hooray c/o the Velvet Underground, New York City book.

Ah. Ok, yes – thank-you. I have it.
