From the Attic: 1984 Venom and Metallica Seven Dates of Hell poster

Today I was searching for a Black Sabbath poster to post a pic of, but came up empty handed, but while searching I did come across a very cool piece of metal history. Not to take anything away from my other post today about Tony Iommi, but I occasionally plan to feature something from my collection to share with the world in a series I call "From the Attic" and I have a bit of time today to post it. Hopefully the metal Gods will take this offering to help make Tony Iommi better.

The following poster is one of my favourite items in my collection. Here we have the very rare offset printed black and white poster from the 7 dates of Hell Tour. This poster is of a very high quality and was printed in pretty small batches, it is much higher quality than the more common colour paper ones and really needs to be seen in person to understand. It was apparently hung in the venues and given to band, roadies etcetera. For now this baby is hiding in the attic, but a trip to the framers is planned soon where it will also get a few basic repairs. Remember kids always frame with acid free materials and at least 99% UV protectant glass. Enjoy!
