Below are all of
my Belinda related adverts that I've kept over the years. These range from
album and singles adverts to postcards and fanzines.
For some reason,
I don't appear to have anywhere near as many Belinda adverts, compared to the
other Belinda items that I have (other than my Belinda lyrics). Personally, I'd blame the archiver... so,
that'll be me then!
Overall, the adverts
show a complete contrast. From the absolutely beautiful, to the
generically thrown together designs, each have their own qualities to put across
their messages.
Certainly, I have
always loved the entire advertising styling of Belinda during her Live Your Life
Be Free periods. There's just something about that retro styling that
makes Belinda so irresistible!

A Woman &
A Man postcard
(75Kb & 97Kb respectively)
This is the rear and front sides of the A Woman & A Man postcard that I
have, with a classic Belinda pose from the album!
Belinda
Carlisle Experience fanzine (145Kb)
I was once in the UK Belinda
Carlisle fan club, and this is the front cover of (the last issue?) of the fanzine that
was released. I got this in around the year 1992 or so...
Best Of
Belinda Volume 1 (105Kb)
Here is Belinda advertising her
first compilation. A little confession here - I don't own this album,
and to be honest, I probably never will, as I already have all the songs
(although that didn't stop me from buying her more recent Greatest Hits CD
though!).
I've had to
touch this advert up quite a bit as I've had this for a really long time, and it's got damaged over the years.
Do You
Feel Like I Feel? (230Kb)
This is a great advertising
style - a small thin strip (also see Half The World), with a distinctive
design. In fact, I love all of the design styles from Belinda over her
Live Your Life Be Free period.
Half The
World (185Kb)
Following on from Do You Feel Like I Feel? this is a similarly styled offering.
La Luna (194Kb)
This advert looks amazing!
This is a full page advert with Belinda looking stunning from her Runaway
Horses period.
Little
Black Book
(151Kb)
This
Our Price subsidised advert shows a rather spartan looking image, whereas...
Live Your
Life Be Free (231Kb)
...This HMV subsidised advert is
positively flowing with style and exuberance.
One By One (59Kb)
A strange one this... I
remember receiving this post card out of the blue one day. I hadn't
until very recently heard this song - which sounds great, by the way.
Real (123Kb)
Here is Belinda looking so
natural, advertising her Real album. I seem to remember that this
advert wasn't from a music magazine, but from Visage, a fashion magazine
around at the time.
Summer
Rain (168Kb)
Finally,
here is the classic shot from Belinda's Summer Rain single. Again,
this image has had to be touched up a little to remove a few crease marks on
here.
