Anyone know anything about these?

I'm very inexperienced with eBay and don't have an account, but I do look out there for curios (like these) now and again.

The posters are new to me - photos by Peter Gilbert 1982 (after the album?)

Just a guess Martin, but photographers used to create their own prints and posters for sale in the pages of Smash Hits / No.1 etc. I guess these posters were produced for such purpose.

I used to have a David Sylvian one (a Fin Costello poster from his 'Sons of Pioneers' book)and I remember that there were adverts for Numan ones as well.

Pete Gilbert took the majority of the pics of John from around the time of The Garden. These posters were primarily sold via In The City magazine, as well as Smash Hits - I also seem to think (!) that they could've been available via The Service as well...
