What's that noise...? Prince in Illinois... or maybe cha-ching if you happen to have an example of this 1982 poster advertising tickets for a concert at Metro Centre in Rockford, Illinois, on March 5, featuring The Time, Zapp and Prince. "I'd pay $1000 for one" says concert poster collector Scott Mussell adding "It's hard to find Prince material and this is really a gem I'd love to add one to my collection." Mussell is also seeking other Prince posters from the early 1980s as well- especially those printed on cardboard by Globe Posters Baltimore. "Globe produced tour blanks for several early career Prince tours, I'd love to hang one next to the 1957 Little Richard poster on my wall also produced by Globe" Mussell notes. That's high praise considering Richard's importance in the history of rock 'n roll. Prince is perhaps the most unique star of the 80s or any decade for that matter with his combination of unabashed style and unquestioned artistic integrity. Mussell is seeking concert posters in any condition- if you have an example of a poster advertising a Prince concert that occurred before 1984 contact Mussell at srmussell@me.com or 515.707.7250 any time.

WANTED PRINCE CONCERT POSTERS
Concert poster collector Scott Mussell is seeking original concert posters advertising ticket sales for Prince concerts before 1985. Many of these posters were printed on cardboard by the legendary Globe Poster Co. in Baltimore, MD. "It's sort of the end of Globe's heyday but they were still hanging on and produced some of the coolest Prince material from early in his career" says Mussell. The tours associated with the Princes third albums "Dirty Mind," "Controversy" and "1999" featured boxing style posters advertising gigs. "In addition to the boxing style posters I've seen a great locally made poster from a North Caorlina gig and I would expect that other venues produced posters that have yet to be discovered" Mussell said. If you have an original advertising poster promoting a Prince concert that occurred before 1985 contact Mussell at 515.707.7250 or srmussell@me.com.
