Friday Ephemera: Maxwells press release (1980)

Ephemera Friday - UK post punk gigs Pt. 2

1981

Following last week's Ephemera Friday post, here are some more amazing images from Dave at Fruitier Than Thou. I especially love the Wah! poster, and the Teardrop Explodes tour booklet cover for which Dave has been kind enough to scan in it's entirety. I may need to run that sometime in the near future.
