In celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the CBGB, R.I.P., the first Viva Le Punk Festival Dave Glass decided to reprint a small run of only 25 to commemorate the event. These were never before available as a silkscreen print. Originally in 2003, these posters were offset prints on cardstock. 500 posters were initially printed for street promotion and to sell at the Viva Le Punk Festival, with a mere 42 of them signed.
Some featured bands headliners Abrasive Wheels, MDC, TV Smith ( The Adverts ), Huge Cornwell ( The Stranglers ), The Adicts, New York Rel-X, Criminal Class UK, The Casualties, Kraut, Beerzone and Niblick Henbane.
