Whats the best ever rave flyer?

With over 20 years of rave flyer designs to look at it maybe a hard job to pick out the best one.  We of course love our early ones including Fantazia Summertime with the computer generated designs as they were simple but iconic for the time but the work involved in creating them does not compare to our latest range of flyers that are far more complex which is allowed by much more powerful computers, layered photoshop images and greater availability of extra images.  But I digress. Even I don't see a Fantazia flyer as the best ever rave flyer (though I do wish it was!).  No in my personal opinion the winner from all those years has to be.....

Universe Tribal Gathering 1993.   Not only was the party huge, but so was the flyer.  Multiple pages and featuring original super hero characters. It was a real inspiration and the map of the huge site made the party look immense and of course all those that went know that it was.  I remember us all flicking through it time and again in the office marveling at how Universe could have afforded to produce it.  Its also a very collectable flyer now selling for over £10 each.  Many have copied its Superhero style over the years and it has served as an inspiration to our own latest event flyer for Fantazia Superheroes at Motion on the 31st March.  Whats your favourite flyer and why?

What is the most expensive rave flyer that there is?

We have just sold a Dreamscape 1 flyer in mint condition for £25 equalling a Fantazia Club Tour at the Barrowlands flyer that we sold some time ago.  Generally flyers don't sell in very large amounts but it is undoubted that some have a special place in peoples hearts and that some just really are very rare compared to others.  We printed 1 million flyers for the Fantazia One Step Beyond event in 1992 (the biggest event of ours by some way) and yet they are still very collectable which means rarity is not everything in the price as with that many floating around it just can't be as rare as other event flyers that where only printed in the 000's.

What is the rarest flyer you know about? Which would you love for your rave flyer collection and why?  Did you go to the event or just love it as a form of artwork?
