“Psychic TV & SWANS – Some Bizzare CD Release Promo” – Original Indie Music Advertisement, Circa Early 1990s

Description

Description:
This is an original vintage promotional advert for the compact disc debut of influential alternative albums from Psychic TV and SWANS, released under the iconic Some Bizzare Records label. Likely dating to the early 1990s, this minimalist black-and-white advert features a bold, industrial design and promotes three seminal releases:

• Psychic TV – Dreams Less Sweet (Cat. No. SB2CD 011)

• SWANS – Cop/Young God (Cat. No. KCCCD 001)

• SWANS – Greed/Holy Money (Cat. No. KCCCD 002)

The ad proudly declares:
“Available now on compact disc for the first time”, highlighting the era’s transition from vinyl and cassette to CD. These recordings are recognized as defining moments in industrial, experimental, and post-punk music, with artists like Genesis P-Orridge (Psychic TV) and Michael Gira (SWANS) pushing sonic and artistic boundaries.

The distinctive layout with stark fonts, shadowed symbols (including the dollar sign for Holy Money), and gritty monochrome palette captures the raw aesthetic of the underground indie and noise scenes. Distributed by A.P.T., and available in “all good indie stores and chains”, the leaflet epitomizes 90s alternative music culture.

Mounted on black cardboard, the print measures approximately 25 x 16 cm (9.8 x 6.3 inches). Ideal for collectors of post-industrial music memorabilia, CD format promotional history, or Some Bizzare Records fans.
