Purely and simply because its just a poster of a bug, with Underworld's name on it, its not in an Underworld recognised font, and its pretty insigificant as a piece of memoribillia, even if it is signed by the artist. It has no relevance other than for that specific event, which i suppose unless you went to it - it has even less meaning... almost every other underworld event poster has some recognised UW imagery or fonts

i know its framed but even so - its not worth anywhere near what you are asking, imho

u might be better off selling it via a rare flyers website like this: http://www.raveflyers.co.uk/prices.htm, because i really don't think any UW fan here will part with more than £10 for that poster, unless i'm sorely mistaken

Then apparently you don't know who emek is(http://www.emek.net/posters/main.html), a very famous concert poster artist who is commissioned to do this art usually by the artist/venue(this one from may 1st, 1999 at santa monica civic center) so this is not just a meaningless piece of work. so it has to be a recognized font to make it collectibly, i thought art was interpretation? sorry for taking up space on your holy ground your highness and your all almighty knowledge, i thought 80 american dollars was pretty cheap, i guess i am not worthy of posting...geesh get off your high horse

Sorry i obviously did cause offence, and i'm sorry i'm not up on my 'concert' poster artists, but either way - as an Underworld piece, this to me, and it appears most others here, don't think its worth buying - even at the price you listed.

You are certainly worthy of posting if you have something other than 'BUMP' to say, but almost half of your posts on this forum have been in this one thread bumping it up...

i'm quite happy to discuss the merits of concert posters and emek, if that's what you want, but as a piece of art its not what i'd want in my house, and as a piece of UW memoribilia even less so, especially at that price.

I believe most people who buy Underworld merchandise, as opposed to the music, do so, because it has some direct influences by Underworld associated to it, either the imagry or graphically. This poster has nothing other than Underworld written on it - hell, if thats the case, i'd be buying up the T-Rex Album and Kate Beckinsale DVD's. It has to have some more merit to it i suppose for people here to buy it.

Feel free to carry on bumping if you like and i welcome your posts (if they have something to say - even if its just ranting back at me) - i'm not modding ya, just passing comments being a formative collector of UW merchandise.
