Got my poster back from the framer's this afternoon

It's hard to photograph well with an iPhone, but TGPT's signature is there, in gold, underneath Bryan's:

Sharp!

That looks pretty cool Peanut, nice job! I like the black mount & frame. I haven't got mine done yet and wasn't sure which colour to go for but that has gave me an idea.

Thanks, guys.

Roxy: it's double-mounted, with the inner mount in silver. The black frame is edged in silver. It wasn't cheap to have it framed professionally, but I'm well-chuffed with the result.

I have the gold version, or "bronze" as they are calling it on the official Roxy shop page so I like the idea of a black frame. Don't think I would like a gold frame unless I go for a light wood. Would it be cheeky of me to ask how much yours cost to have done? Also, did you have the limited edition number left on show before the mount starts?

I thought it would be an easy job to frame myself untill I measured the print and realised it was not going to fit in a standard size frame.

Smudge, if you read this you will have to let us see a pic of your framed print!

Seeing as you ask, it cost £80 to mount and frame. Not cheap, but bespoke framing never is.

I'm in south Manchester, so I took it to a reputable framers not far from my home:

Yes, the number (79/150) is still fully visible in the bottom, right-hand corner, it is just difficult to see in the above photo.

Here is the high-res version:

Thanks for that info Peanut. I know the price can vary depending on choice of frame, mount etc. I have an art gallery/framers near me so will pop in there when I have time.

I am still in shock from seeing the video of the Bryan Ferry book signing in Sydney where a lady had one of the prints to be signed and it had a fold in the middle :shock:

Nice Mount and Frame, looks great; Style and Substance as befitting the group.

She probably went home and stuck it to her bathroom wall with Sellotape :lol:

Does anyone know if the signed, limited edition posters were available at the Oz/NZ shows, or was that deal just for Britain?

There were posters signed by all 4 at the Melbourne show. They were $100 AUD each!!!

Needless to say, at that price I left it there.

That's four times the price in the U.K. :shock:

Sorry, Aussies!

Why the massive markup, I wonder?

I don't know about most people, but I rarely, if ever, carry that amount of cash with me to a gig.
