Set of stickers from U.S. label Matador Records promoting Liz Phair’s 1993 album Exile in Guyville.
All this week on the blog I’ll be featuring that most shareable of promo items: stickers. And since I was never much one for permanently mucking up a hard surface with something gluey, I’ve accumulated a good stack of unstuck (though not pristine) music-related stickers.
These particular ones came with a Matador store order in 1993, including copies of Liz Phair’s debut album. While the album's subject matter and cover art all scream “cool rocker chick,” the visual style of these stickers is decidedly different. With simple, bold colors and line art of a dashing gent or lady, these artifacts look a bit out of place in Guyville. But I think they’re swell.
