Here’s a couple more adverts promoting the 20th Anniversary editions of The Stone Roses.
HMV has taken a different approach with their advert featuring a classic Ian Tilton photograph and lyrics from She Bangs The Drums. Quite effective I feel, but possibly would appeal more to an existing fan rather than the casual buyer.
The second is a larger variation of the advert posted yesterday.
Here’s a couple examples of the adverts appearing to promote the 20th Anniversary release.
The first is a quarter page colour advert from a tabloid newspaper and the second a full page colour advert that is appearing on the back cover of several major music magazines.
Thought I’d take a retrospective look at how the Roses music press adverts changed over the years.
Three examples for your viewing pleasure: From Sally Cinnamon, through classic Silvertone and onto second album promotions from Geffen.
I just love the early press adds for the Silvertone singles. They really captured the Roses vibe and instantly set them apart from their contemporaries.
Here’s a half page one for Elephant Stone. Wish I could fit those full page ones I’ve got onto the scanner!
Let’s party like it’s 1994. Some very nice Second Coming era press adverts.
