Ocean Colour Scene poster - Mechanical Wonder
Original litho-printed Ocean Colour Scene poster for the album Mechanical Wonder
This poster for Mechanical Wonder released on 9 April 2001, was the fifth album by Ocean Colour Scene peaking on the UK album chart at number 7 and lasting 4 weeks in the top 75. To date, Mechanical Wonder is the last Ocean Colour Scene release to enter the top 10.
Believed to be anti-dance music by many, the band deny this. Simon Fowler wrote in the liner notes of the band's greatest hits album "Songs for the Front Row" he noted that the title referred to cars on the motorway. Live however, Fowler often sings "and the radio plays only fucking Radio 1", a possible reference to the lack of airplay the band get.
The other single from the album was "Up on the Downside", which fared better in the charts. The album marked the end of the Britpop success of OCS and the band decided to release themselves from their contract with their record label.

FAQs
Are Your Posters Original?
Yes — all of our posters are 100% original promotional prints from their respective release periods. Many date back to the 1990s and early 2000s, with some still preserved in their original paper wrapping.
Are Your Posters Reprints?
No — our posters are original prints produced during the 1990s and early 2000s using the traditional offset printing method, known for its bold colours and consistent quality.
Modern reprints are typically digitally printed, which can vary in colour and finish. Under magnification, offset printing reveals a distinctive rosette-style dot pattern, while digital prints appear more random.
Please note: we do stock a small selection of 1st generation reprints, which are always clearly labelled within the listing description.Storage & Care
