Catalogue note
Original 1993 double-sided flyer for Inter Space Promotions’ Ravealation at The Dome, Southall Lane, Hounslow. The reverse explicitly invites ravers to the “launch party” and documents a major early-1990s hardcore/early-jungle DJ bill, ticketing network, security policy, sound and lighting attractions, directions and the next planned event. The science-fiction/biomechanical front artwork is signed by Junior Tomlin, whose airbrushed futurism became one of the defining visual languages of UK rave culture.
Advertised programme: Main Arena: Swann-E; Jumping Jack Frost; Mickey Finn; Devious “D”; Ellis “D”; Donovan Bad Boy Smith. Chill-out Zone: Jason “B”; Peter Doyle; Hughie; Matt Maurice. MCs: Chalkie White; MC Smurf.
Historical context: Advertised as Inter Space Promotions’ launch party, the event sells motorway access and a new venue alongside its bill. A separate chill-out programme, on-site paramedics, coded tickets and a regional record-shop network document how the promoter organised a night for travelling audiences. The printed promise of a further 31 July event establishes an intention, not proof that the later event took place.

Event details are drawn from the held object and the qualified catalogue research above. A printed bill establishes an advertised booking, not confirmation that a performer appeared.
Why this object matters
Ravealation's explicit launch invitation, programme and operational information preserve a specific promoter's entry into the hardcore/early-jungle network. Tomlin's signed image supports threshold Gold; the available evidence does not establish the additional landmark distinction implied by 9.2.
Evidence limits: No new physical inspection or collation was performed. Copy-specific conclusions remain limited to the retained catalogue and accession evidence.
