Framed poster for The Stone Roses' "Second Coming," manufactured in 1995.
The Stone Roses remain immensely popular, symbolizing the UK rock scene of the 1980s and 90s. This is a framed promotional poster from 1995 by Geffen Records for their second album, "Second Coming," released in 1994.
While they became central to the "Madchester" movement with their debut album "The Stone Roses" released in 1989, "Second Coming" marked a significant shift from their previous danceable, psychedelic sound. The album evolved into a heavier, rougher sound, strongly influenced by blues rock, hard rock, and classic rock from the 60s and 70s. This worldview is powerfully reflected in the visuals of this poster.
The artwork was created by guitarist John Squire. The credit "Collage by John Squire" is clearly visible at the bottom, suggesting it's not just a promotional item but also an art piece by him.
The collage composition, with countless fragmented images layered together, mixes paintings, photographs, numbers, figures, and abstract expressions, strongly conveying the decadence and experimental nature characteristic of 90s alternative culture. Against a heavy color palette based on brown, black, and burgundy, the bold red "THE STONE ROSES" logo and yellow "Second Coming" typography placed in the center create a striking contrast, resulting in a visually highly accomplished design.
Additionally, the text at the bottom reads "©1995 Geffen Records, Inc. Made in U.S.A. For Promotional Use Only. Not For Sale.," indicating that this was a non-sale promotional poster distributed to record stores and related parties at the time.
This is a highly valuable piece of historical material that retains the promotional culture of the music industry in the 90s and the unique atmosphere of US distribution, offering a charm distinct from simple reprint posters.
The size is large at H845mm × W600mm, providing a substantial presence that can serve as a focal point in any space.
The black frame provides a sleek finish, making it a versatile addition that complements industrial, postmodern, and modern interiors.
This vintage poster is recommended not only for fans of UK rock, Britpop, and 90s culture but also as a graphic art piece with high artistic merit.
If you are unable to make holes in the wall, such as in a rental property, it can be displayed atmospherically simply by leaning it against a shelf or on the floor.
It is framed with acrylic cover and aluminum frame.
Consider it for your home interior or as store fixtures.
