Date note
Weekday (German ‘Samstag’), month and day are handwritten but no year is given; 17 February was a Saturday in 1990, which agrees with the label supplied with the scan, so 1990 is a consistent attribution but not a printed fact.

Presented by A.C. Promotions and Bazooka kollectiv. No designer or photographer is named.

This is a handwritten, photocopied poster in German and English promoting a bill of S.P.G. (UK) and The New English (UK). It names the presenters as A.C. Promotions and Bazooka kollectiv, gives the venue as the Bazooka (‘Im Bazooka’), and states Samstag, Feb. 17th, an evening start time, entry of 6 and ‘one and only European date’. A dedication to the memory of The Redskins runs across the top. The poster carries an uncaptioned photocopy of two guitarists on stage and a school-style portrait of a child; neither is identified. No year or city is printed. The weekday fits 17 February 1990, the year in the scan label, and later accounts place the show in Bonn. It is an advertised bill, not proof that the show took place.

ONE AND ONLY EUROPEAN DATE

Handwritten promotional wording on the poster; a promoter's claim, not independent evidence.
  • Bazooka, Bonn, according to later accounts. Date unresolved Readings: 17 February 1990 (A07); March 1990 (Y07). The sources disagree or give no date; the performance date is not established.
