*NEW POSTER* This poster is huge, it had to be digitally
photographed and then scanned. From
the appearance of the picture it
is from the early 1970's and comes
courtesy of Linda Crafar.
This
pullout centerfold pin up appeared
in the 1976 Majikat Earth Tour Programme.
It's has always been one of my favorite
photographs of Cat in concert.
These
3 posters appeared in the British
Disc and Echo Magazine in the early
70's. Disc is a newspaper
type magazine, a bit larger than
the early Rolling Stone magazines.
These posters were the pullout centerfold
posters, so they are quite large.
In fact even with my legal size
scanner it still took 3 scans and
two stitchings to put these posters
together for you to see them. The
dimensions for these 3 posters are
15" x 22"
Aren't
these beauties? Don't you just love
this red Greek fisherman cap and
red bandana?? Can you imagine those
eyes staring at you from across
the wall?
From
the brown leather jacket I wonder
if this may have been from the same
shoot as the picture on the cover
of 'The Very Best CD". Aren't
we happy that he quit this nasty
little habit!!!
Now
how could anyone resist this poster?
Isn't it just adorable the way they
placed the Cat frame around it.
Unfortunately, I couldn't capture
the whole frame with the scanner.
Don't you just love this smile?
Makes you wonder what David Bailey
and Cat were discussing during this
1974 shoot.
Isn't
this a beauty? It is a huge
poster, it stands 30" x 40".
Notice it is from the same photo
shoot as the German View from
the Top LP.
Here
is another gorgeous poster. This
one was circulating around the 1971
era. It is not of true color, but
more of sepia coloring, which gives
this poster a warm-homey feel to
it. This is another one of
my favorite posters. I had to place
it up on my wall just to take
a photograph of it with the digital
camera, to be able to scan the whole
thing. It is another huge poster..
30" x 40" but it is of
dull texture rather than glossy.
Take
a look at this cool psychedelic
poster. This is an original Tower
Records Promotional Poster for Tea
For The Tillerman. Notice the tillerman
on the bottom of the poster. I am
assuming here, but I think the girl
represents " the woman
who made the rain come" . This
is a very good example of the psychedelic
period of the late 60's early 70's.
This is what is classified as a
black light poster. And if you are
too young to remember a black light
poster, it was made of special material,
so when you placed a special black
light bulb into your light fixture,
the poster became neon in color.
Also this is a rather tall poster,
15" x 39 in dimension. I had
to photograph this poster at an
angle since it is framed with glass.
I found that if I took the photograph
front and center, the flash created
a glare on the poster.
These
three posters come courtesy of Cat
Stevens Fan and Majicat contributor
Gloria Mills and have been
in her possession since her
teenage years. The two bottom ones
come from a girls' teen magazine
from Scotland called PINK. Gloria
took immaculate care of these, much
better care in fact than I took
of mine as you will see. Isn't this
top poster a beauty?

Here
is another centerfold pull out poster,
this time from the July 1972 Hit
Parade Magazine
Pull
out poster from the Japanese Buddha
and the Chocolate Box LP. Poster

This
poster of a young "Pop"
Cat Stevens comes courtesy of Murphy
Anderson and appeared in the
Fabulous 208 8th July '67 'The Kitten
to Cat' Article.
This
poster is from B&W German Photographer
Jan Olofsson and is 12" x 18"
and is of heavy duty stock paper.
It came in a folder with 5 other
early pop posters, Jimi Hendrx and
The Beatles featured amongst them.
And
last, my old, worn poster from my
youth. As you can see it has been
rolled and stored away in the closet
for years, and not well taken care
of! But it was a beauty in its day.
Notice Cat's famous lips t-shirt.
I can still remember purchasing
this from my high school and being
excited about finally having a Cat
Stevens poster.
I
hope you enjoyed going down the
Poster memory lane.
