London: Rough Trade, 1978. Very good plus.. Flyer promoting the second date, at Manchester's famed Factory, of Stiff Little Finger's UK tour after the surprise success of their first album - an interesting document in the development of one of the most important indie record labels.

Miller would use his experience at Rough Trade to later launch Mute Records, another key UK post-punk indie. 8.25'' x 12''. Offset flyer printed black on red recto only. Mild wear at edges.
