The Electric Circus
1978

A great and very rare poster for the Virgin 10" Lp 'Short Circuit'.

There was an original limited press of 5000 copies of the record released on blue vinyl, recorded at The Electric Circus on 2nd October 1977.

Also includes (non-manc) punk faves Steel Pulse - a UK reggae band from Birmingham.

This item is from Rob Gretton's archive.

“The poster came with some copies of the orange vinyl pressing which were supposed to be promos. Some of these copies also had a John Dowie 7" with them (on pink vinyl).”
“this one's actually on card. is that the same as the freebie? i assume this is a promotional record shop item.”
“It was folded and on normal thickness paper.”
“me and my mates sat outside the electric circus in collyhurst in the 70's listening to the bands play, too young to get in, i remember hearing joy division and the fall, used to live facing it on collyhurst street.”
