Description:
Rare and highly collectible original vintage promotional poster featuring Morrissey on the cover of NME (New Musical Express) with the iconic tagline “Know NME, Know Music”, mounted on black card for preservation and display (approx. 24 x 30 cm).
This eye-catching design features a humorous and memorable visual: a dog (“Nipper,” famously from the HMV logo) appears to be reading the issue of NME showcasing a shirtless Morrissey with the headline:
“EXCLUSIVE! Morrissey Gets It Off His Chest.”
Produced around 1991, this striking advert was part of NME’s campaign to promote its identity as the go-to publication for cutting-edge alternative and indie music. This particular edition included features on Cure, EMF, Ride, Morrissey, Pixies, The Fall, and more—making it a key cultural moment from the golden age of British music journalism.
Published courtesy of EMI Records Ltd and linked with the registered HMV trademark, this is both a pop culture snapshot and a standout decorative piece.
