[Music Posters]
Posters created by Alex Innocenti for various productions. See below for details of items. The State Library holds a collection of music, video, photographs, records, CDs/DVDs and memorabilia and ephemera which is a representation of the music industry in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. An example includes this collection of posters which were designed by Alex Innocenti, the entrepreneur behind Cellar Blues Promotions. Alex continued to create the graphics for promotion materials over an almost 30 year period. The posters are a graphic depiction of a point in time, with images of the bands and artist, painted and hand drawn in the graphic style of the day, well before the capacity to produce such promotions on a computer desk top. Some of the bands he promoted included Black Sabbath, Doug Parkinson In Focus, Cat Stevens, Daddy Cool and Billy Thorpe. Alex was also the driving force behind Adelaide's "Woodstock", the 70s music festival held at Myponga. Posters for the festival are included in this collection.
