Description
The Birthday Party 24x24 Print. You likely already know this band and I don't need to explain to much here, but I'd like to add a few things.
-Some background, I've had this poster for a good 15 years now, its been stored away and I just don't have the room for it.
-Notice that it does not say "The" in the poster, it just says "Birthday Party" (the record says "The Birthday Party")
-Ed Roth fans out there, or Nick Cave, Birthday Party fans, this is a really nice looking piece.
-It has some waves in it, but I am putting some books on top to flatten out. it may need to be reframed
-I am including a frame in the auction, I was cleaning it and the glass broke, so the frame is there, just needs glass and a good backing.
In the lower right hand corner it says Missing Link Records, and in the left it says Link 31, I am assuming this is 31, of a print series...
"Back in the mid ’80?s The Birthday Party was my favorite band. They wrote about darkness as if it were funny, and committing mayhem a joyous occasion, which made them even scarier. Nick’s delivery was nearly Shakespearian, and the band muscular and impeccably tasteful for all the ungodly noise they created.
The Birthday Party hired famed “Rat Fink” originator, and hot rod artist, “Big Daddy” Roth to do the cover of their third album JunkyardRoth was a devout Christian at the time and knew nothing of the band when he created the artwork. Afterwards when he heard the album he regretted his contribution"
