Stevie's Wild Heart show used the album cover but mostly that photo of her smiling pulling her hair at the end. I would also chart all the songs and albums. This is how I can remember trivia about the band because of all those quick drops before each song on the countdown shows.
I hung on to some very vintage posters that were stored at my parents house for decades. I could not throw them away and sold them on Ebay many years ago. I had the ORIGINAL Tusk poster, ORIGINAL 1976 poster and a very rare Stevie Nicks Tusk photo printed in England. I had never seen any like it before. There was a record store in my home town that used to have it on the wall. It was there for years. One day I asked to buy it and they sold it to me.

wow. i have several original posters still hanging up and some are rolled and stored. i used to cut out the tiny HBO concert ads also!! to this day, if anything about FM appears in print, my mother will cut and save for me
I cannot bring myself to toss anything. the only stuff i trashed were awful b/w photocopies of color pics that i made in the library when I was 13...but other than that i have a cabinet and walk in closet full of FM stuff. it's crazy.
My daughter has said, 'you know, i really don't want all this sh*t when you die' but i told her she could make some $ off it if she sells in the right forums!
