The split groups, Rainbow, Whitesnake (including a hand-drawn poster for their first UK tour), PAL and Gillan form a sizeable section of the collection, while Deep Purple's reunion is also well represented with the first Knebworth poster (several versions) and other UK and non UK gig posters and label promo posters. It ranges from those advertising "Hush" and "Shades" in 1968, early American gigs in 1968, "Taliesyn" and "Third" US record company posters, Ampex tape posters, Mk 2 concert and record posters from 1970 - 1973 (as well as the first commercially available in store posters of Gillan and Blackmore). As a result of this and donations of material the DPAS Archive collection now comprises several hundred items going back over forty years. Simon got his first Deep Purple poster back in 1971 and is still picking them up as and when. If you have any rare posters you can photograph (or if you have a collection we can visit and do this for you) please get in touch. The DPAS is helping on a new book of posters, and you can learn a little about this on our book preview page.
