The Beautiful South "Blue Is The Colour" Promo Beermat


The Beautiful South beermat. Why not?

This was sent out to promote their "Blue Is The Colour" album in 1996. I recall they decked out several pubs up and down the UK with flyers and posters to publicise the release. Paul Heaton now owns a pub, the King's Arms in Salford, which seems entirely appropriate. "Blue Is The Colour" was the band's first album since the release of the multi-platinum selling "Carry On Up The Charts" singles compilation, and like many other bands releases following a greatest hits (see James for example), did okay but not outstanding, and thus the downward spiral in sales begins, until the next "Best of"...
