VTG TOWER RECORDS calendar poster FRANK CARSON Sexy Woman RETRO 1984 KMET 94.7

Description: APPROXIMATE Size: 39" x 13" Illustrator: Frank Carson Interesting: The Radio Station info is printed upside down THESE POSTERS ARE FROM back when Tower Records was THE hangout place for teens, college students and anyone who loved music, videos, posters and even head shop stuff. Tower was open 7 days a week 365 days a year until midnight. IT WAS AWESOME!! And Tower always had free stuff on the tables to take -- promotional stuff like postcards, advertisements, posters, stuff that had been hanging on their walls, etc. And every year they would have stacks and stacks of FREE poster-calendars with cool artwork on them. Everyone tried to get them before they ran out, and up they went on dorm walls, bedroom walls, etc. This is one of those posters! I'm going to be posting a ton of these cool posters from various years, so please be sure to check my store if you're interested. FREE SHIPPING! A bit of history about Tower's famous calendar-posters: They were beautifully printed on glossy heavy paper stock and look fantastic framed. Tower created these highly collectible posters for most of its long tenure as the self-proclaimed "greatest record store in the known world." In the '60s and early '70s, some of the posters Tower created were one-offs celebrating a concert or created for use in-store for a specific release. Cat Stevens, the Jefferson Airplane and Bob Dylan were just a few of the artists whose images or albums graced early Tower prints. Starting in around 1975, as the press runs grew along with Tower's expansion, and the prints evolved into calendars. Eventually, most were produced in cooperation with radio stations, who would pay or trade for printing plate changes which enabled the insertion of their station logo on a certain number of the calendars that would be distributed by their local Towers and through station promotions. They were highly sought-after and turned up in TV shows and movies, such as the music movie "FM" or the long-running TV sitcom "WKRP in Cincinnati."Artist Frank Carson did virtually all of the art from the mid-'60s into the late '80s. They are quite beautiful, with bountiful hippie girls and 1980s vixens nestled into rich deco and art nouveau themes as well as bountiful contemporary model types surrounded by pop art and symbols of popular culture. Carson disappeared from the Sacramento art scene in the late '80s and a number of different approaches were used to adorn the calendars, from hiring notable fine artists like Jerald Silva to acquiring art by holding competitions between Tower store artists and employees. A lot of the 1980s posters were done in the style of Patrick Nagel's artwork for Duran Duran, etc.These art prints and calendars are increasingly rare. They are fantastic mementos of the days when Tower's aisles teemed with a music vibe as customers, employees and record company salesmen bought, sold and talked music and records. It was a highly enjoyable communal ritual.FREE SHIPPING!!
