Gifts for music lovers: original posters they won't already have
Share
An original poster is a present a music fan will not find on the high street. These were printed for record shops, billboards and cinemas when the album, single or film came out. Here are ideas by taste and by budget, and how to get one framed and delivered.
Why an original poster
- It is the real thing. Printed in the original print run, not reproduced. The few reprints we sell say so in the title.
- It is personal. Pick the album from the year they met, the tour they went to, or the band they still talk about.
- It is ready for the wall. Add a frame or snap rails when you order.

Framing and delivery
On each poster's page you can add a standard frame for a 30 x 20 inch poster, a deluxe frame, or snap rails, which also fit the big 60 x 40 inch posters. We fit standard and deluxe frames and pack them ready to hang, and framed orders have free UK delivery. Posters on their own are rolled in a heavy tube, with free UK delivery on orders over £50.
Christmas: order by Thursday for UK delivery before Christmas. Deluxe frames are made to order and take about two weeks, so order those earlier.
