Another big postcard to promote the return of Electronic, and their first single "Vivid" from their third album "Twisted Tenderness". The back of the card tells the full story of how the album came about - it's always been a disappointing album for me, kind of getting away from the original "New Order meet The Smiths" vibe of the magnificent first album. Anyway, I didn't receive any more mail-outs after this one, as Electronic were once again put on hold whilst Barney went back to New Order and Johnny Marr had his own band The Healers.
Remember life before Facebook, Twitter, My-Space and e-mail, and all the junk-mail record companies sent to you back in the 1990's to promote their artists and their latest single/album/tour/t-shirt etc? Here's my personal collection of it, along with flyers and other ephemera, all collected during the era of little cards you found in CD Singles and sent off by Freepost to some place in Leamington Spa.
