Promotional copy of ‘Dear 23’, the breakthrough second studio album by American alternative rock band The Posies, released in 1990 on DGC Records (David Geffen Company). Formed by Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow, The Posies became one of the defining acts of the emerging power-pop and alternative rock movement of the early 1990s.
Produced by John Leckie, renowned for his work with The Stone Roses and Radiohead, ‘Dear 23′ expanded The Posies’ sound beyond their independent debut and introduced a richer, more sophisticated production style. The album features standout tracks including ‘Golden Blunders’, ‘Any Other Way’, ‘Help Yourself’ and ‘Suddenly Mary’, showcasing the band’s signature melodic songwriting, layered harmonies and jangly guitar work.
This promotional radio station copy includes the original LP, printed press biography dated 29 October 1990 and promotional insert material.
