Asia are an English rock supergroup formed in London in 1981. The most commercially successful lineup was its original, which consisted of four members of different progressive rock bands who had enjoyed great success in the 1970s: lead vocalist and bassist John Wetton (King Crimson, Uriah Heep and U.K.), guitarist Steve Howe (Yes), keyboardist Geoff Downes (Yes and the Buggles) and drummer Carl Palmer (Emerson, Lake & Palmer).

Alpha is the second studio album by the supergroup Asia, released in 1983. Following the massive success of their debut, this album saw the band fully embrace a polished, radio-friendly pop-rock sound, driven primarily by the songwriting of John Wetton and Geoff Downes, which critics noted came at the expense of the progressive elements and the virtuosity of Steve Howe and Carl Palmer. While it failed to match the sales of its predecessor, it was still a major commercial hit, peaking at No. 6 on the US chart and achieving Platinum certification, thanks in part to the popular singles "Don't Cry" and the ballad "The Smile Has Left Your Eyes." The album is also visually distinct due to its Roger Dean-designed cover, which features the famous Asia pyramid logo with the addition of a prominent eagle's eyes motif.

Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the charm.

When framed these colourful and detailed posters can become a centre piece for any room, to remind us of a simpler time.

These posters are sent as unframed. They will be rolled up and delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
