Vintage Music Pinbacks #10
Tenth in a series.
Buttons, badges, pinbacks - whatever you call 'em, I've got a shoebox full. Here's a few of my vintage music pinbacks from the '70s and '80s:
- 1.5" Billy Idol, 1984
- 1" Joy Division, ca. 1979
- 1" Adam and the Ants, ca. 1981
- 1.25" Big Country, The Crossing, 1983
- 1.25" The Jam, The Gift, 1982
- 1.25" Ultravox, Quartet, 1982
- 1.25" Roxy Music, Stranded, 1973*
- 1.25" The Noise, ca. 1979
*1973 isn't in My Favorite Decade, but I wore this pinback plenty in the early '80s for obvious reasons. I believe it was a gift from my buddy Jim.
