Blimey. Here was one of those bizarre long cards your postman dreaded. A promo postcard informing us that Blur's new single would be "Song 2", taken from the album "Blur" where it was track 2. And it reached number 2. Spook. Marketing formats were limited to the usual CD1 and CD2, along with a nice purple vinyl 7" for geeks like me. It's not too clear from the scan but the reverse of the card has a nice dashboard underlaid beneath the print.
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.
