Tour Programmes

I've got the following Rats tour programmes:


Tonic for the Troops tour (1978)


Christmas Turkey Tour (1978)


Fine art of Surfacing Tour (1979)


Bongos over Britain (1980)


V Deep (1982)


In the Long Grass (1985)


Now, where there any others. Particulary to support the first album

Steve, what do you mean with tour programme? Something like you get in a theatre, with the artists and a summary of the play (except here it would be the musicians and some photos)? Haven't really seen that for a long time anywhere at a concert (maybe I go to the wrong concerts?)


I don't think there were any between 1990 and now... Otherwise I think I'd have bought them... Don't know about the first tour though.

I had/have


Fine art of Surfacing Tour (1979) - though through neglect was eventually stuck together with blue electrical tape, but has now long gone


Bongos over Britain (1980) - Which had a big crease in it and the front page is worn through, from being at the front and having it in my pocket


In the Long Grass (1985) - which I picked up for a quid at a warehouse sale, though it is far from immaculate.


I rarely bought them, but the ones I do have are in varied states.  The Slade one was covered in my own puke after a particularly drunken night.  Oddly enough the programme had lots of sketches of blokes pukeing, so I was just getiing in the "spirit" of things.  Whilst some are immaculate like the Police Synchronicity tour which I was given after the gig.


On the whole, they were pretty poor (and poor value).  A few pictures and they cost a couple of quid or more (equivalent to about £10+ these days).  No wonder they stopped doing them in recent years.  Or have they? Maybe it's just that I go to see the sort of bands that don't do them now.

Well, I saw U2 last week and bought a programme - in fact, I've got them from the last few U2 shows I saw.


But, by and large, I don't see them much, either, these days.  Well, er, there's one group I've seen a few times that still does them, but I can't mention their name...


((FRANNA - SHHHHH!!!!!))


I also have the Bongos tour programme - got it at a used bookstore here in SF a year or so ago.
