Description: As far as i know, this is the only one in existence in the world for sale (there are still some floating around in collections). I have had this since 2000 and was bought from a Mushroom Records executive who was based in Perth, who also collected tour memorabilia and specialised in original Big Day Out posters. Back then it cost me $500, an entire weeks pay. It was rare even then (the poster was already 12 years old) but is like a golden unicorn now. It was framed but has been removed from it’s frame as it will be too big and costly to send - this is a huge 1.25m x 91 cm poster, the kind that was glued to walls in Sydney to promote the show. Again, you will NOT get it in the frame. In 1988, Gn’R’s popularity had exploded with the release of Sweet Child o’ Mine in this country, which reached #10 on the charts (and topped them in America). Their Australian tour had been booked prior to the release of that song - it would be the only time the original and classic line-up would grace Eastern States shores. The gig itself is legendary and can be seen on YouTube, with Axl Rose verbally attacking openers Kings of the Sun as soon as they hit the stage. Guns were at the absolute peak of their powers at this show, and it precedes the drug problems that affected Izzy, Slash and Steve once they arrived home from this tour (and the NZ shows) in Christmas of ‘88. This poster has been framed most of its existence - this has prevented yellowing and wear that typically affects posters of this age. You will not find a rarer concert poster than this, and it has been listed on eBay internationally. It will not stay on here long. The classic Appetite for Destruction image in black and gold in a classic Australian tour poster often reprinted in Australian tour poster books, but never available in its original form… until now. *Please do not ask about the price - if you know what this is, you will know there’s only one and how sought-after it is. I will mark it at whatever value you require in order to keep import costs down if you like. I will be listing a Metallica 1993 Aussie tour poster shortly also, same size and rarity. Watch this space.
