Catalogue note
Original Manumission fold-out flyer from the 1996 'World Series' season at Privilege, Ibiza, themed around Paris as the week's clubbing capital. The object combines a 'Miss Paris' pin-up/editorial conceit with City of the Week copy, a World Series identity panel and a practical admission coupon promising entry for 4,500 pesetas plus a free drink. It documents Manumission at the point when the promoter was turning the Ibiza club flyer into a serial, highly art-directed campaign object rather than merely a lineup notice.
Advertised programme: Palace guests: David Guetta; Claude Monet; Superfly DJ Disco Chris. Also Tom & Jerry Bouthier; Tony de Vit; Danielle Davoli (printed form); Alfredo; Cesar de Melero; Salvador on percussion; Shamanka Phoenix; residents Griff & Jay.
Graphic-design significance: A highly authored multi-panel campaign object combining fashion-style photography, faux-editorial copy, city branding, coupon mechanics and serial World Series identity rather than a conventional DJ-lineup flyer.
Historical context: The Paris episode introduces Palace and its DJs rather than simply naming a city. Its reverse discusses Cathy and David Guetta and the club’s fashion connections. Together with the Detroit and Naples leaflets, the repeated residents show a stable Ibiza platform receiving different guest networks. Later prominence should not obscure the contemporary Palace, Bouthier and resident credits.

Further sources
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
The Paris fold-out documents the World Series visual system and coupon-based admission in a complete surviving example. It remains outstanding campaign evidence alongside Naples, without a demonstrated episode-specific landmark sufficient for Gold.
Evidence limits: Complete fold-out flyer as photographed across three supplied views; all visible panels appear present. No detachable or separate component is evidenced as missing.
