The Smiths – Girlfriend in a Coma
🇬🇧 UK 24” by 12” Cartel Promotional Poster (Grey)
Rough Trade – RTT 197
Cover Star ✨ Shelagh Delaney
(1987)
The standard Cartel promotional poster for Girlfriend in a Coma was the green design, which matches the UK 12” pressing. The larger 60” × 40” Subway/Capital posters used the grey artwork from the 7” sleeve. However, the grey Cartel poster in the 24” × 12” format is rarely seen—it’s one of the rarer and more unusual pieces from the Cartel series.
