Description
Offered is an Original 1979 double sided promo poster for JJ Burnell’s Debut Solo Album Euroman Commeth. Size is 690mm x 600mm - Various pin holes, small creases and rips along a fold line. But would look fantastic if framed.
Euroman Cometh was the 1979 debut solo album by The Stranglers bassist J. J. Burnel. Musically, it was an attempt at incorporating electronic sounds into rock. Lyrically, it evolved around the idea of United States of Europe, in the Cold war context.
Guest musicians were Peter Howells of The Drones (drums on tracks three, five and six), track nine featured Brian James of The Damned (guitar), Lew Lewis (harmonica) and Carey Fortune of Chelsea (drums). All other instruments were played by Burnel.
The album reached number 40 in the UK Albums Chart in April 1979.
Printed on the sleeve is a tribute to the Meriden Motorcycle Co-operative that manufactured Triumph motorcycles from 1976-83. The tribute reads, “The Triumph Workers Co-operative at Meriden have proved that personally motivated enterprise coupled with group interest is a necessary ingredient in successful socialism and the sham they call national socialism could only be suggested and perpetrated by enemies of the people.” Burnel’s 750cc Triumph Bonneville T140, manufactured by the Meriden Co-operative, revs its engine during the track “Triumph (Of the Good City)”.
