God sometimes you forget just how old you really are until you see some of these rave names and the years they we on, ohhh but how many memories reading through this thread has brought back. The years just seem to meld into one and you tend to forget where they were and what they were called.

I used to have an ubundance of them, every rave I went to I would keep the flyer, the ticket stub and masses of photos but when I retired for what I thought was forever in 2001 I threw them all away together with all of my raving clothes that I had made over the years and also all the stuff I had from my raving business of 1994-1996 Clammers Accessories ahhh the beloved CLAM (who remembers what that stands for).

I did manage to find one from a Continuous Flow production called Moose, Mr Hamon and myself were trying to work out what year it was... A private invite party in the middle of somewhere for someones birthday I do believe. Only 345 tickets aaaahhhh those were the days.

I'll upload it tomorrow for all to see... I almost forgot about PAB where is he now???

I used the side of refridgerator box to make a collage of flyers back in 1998-2000 but somehow someway, it managed to get stolen after a recovery at my place a few years back.

Still have quite a few pole posters rolled up in storage somewhere that used to hang on my bedroom walls.

They dont get any older than these 2 flyers. I reckon Jarrod is probably the only other person on here who remembers these parties.

I remember warehouse one my older sister took and this was my very first taste of the rave scene I had been exposed to places such a Control or State I do believe was the era... But nothing like this and the markets in those days were just that a market so it did have a real industrial ravey feel about it plus it was dirty but I loved it and had a ball...

yeah I went to both and have vague memories of them.. interesting times of change! Yep it was 1989 Matt

Kingee Control was in 1993 and State was 1994 so this was long before that era

what order did the clubs go again?

Life @ the Lion in 92
Control @ somewhere in the west end 92/93
State @ the Richmond 94
The Ark on Fridays. That was 93/94 ? or 94/95
Discovery @ Disco from 93 to 96/97

It is all too hazy now.

Then there was that club at the Big Ticket, and Choice, and it sort of all fell apart after that.

I have far from the most comprehensive collection of flyers (my collection starts in 2000) but the best flyer overall i've seen so far would have to be the UW Fluoromania flyer, the small square shape one with the insane UV effects, never has a flyer drop in the party attracted so much punter interest! Bigup the days of Rush :)
