Hand painted movie posters

Heather and I went to the Primitive art space a couple of weeks ago to check out the hand painted movie poster from Ghana. Primitive has a couple of hundred hand painted posters painted on the back of used flour sacks. The posters are mainly from American action movies, Hong Kong kung fu, a few Bollywood, and Nigerian religious dramas (which are usually part horror or action movies). The paintings were made as advertising for video screenings of the movies in rural Ghana. Traveling projectionists would go town to town and put up the posters to advertise the nights video projection.

The prices start at $7000 and go up to $30,000 for a really nice King Kong (1977 version) poster that could be a Lee Perry album cover.

Record Store Day

Saturday is Record Store Day and we are opening at 10AM. I don't have much of the Record Store Day exclusives, if there are titles that you are looking for I suggest Permanent Records (Chicago & Damen - and they will be open at midnight, tonight). Items are already selling for $50 and more on ebay.

At Hard Boiled the first 100 customers will get a gift bag slightly stuffed with stickers, buttons, posters, promo cds and vinyl. And if you are on this list and come by on Saturday I after I run out of gift bags I will make one up for you on the spot.

I do have a ton of used new arrival LPs and 45s. I just bought a stack of promo Rolling Stones releases, a Wilco 10" from 1997, The Kinks Village Green reissue with bonus 45, Beatles originals and reissues.
