Hysteria presents Pure X Part 7 — The Eighth Wonder of the World

Catalogue note

Original double-sided flyer for Hysteria presents Pure X Part 7, “The Eighth Wonder of the World”, at The Sanctuary Warehouse, Milton Keynes, on 21 January 1995. The front uses a highly saturated cosmic Popz composition with metallic typography, two stylised embracing figures and an illustrated Sanctuary complex. The reverse records a very large two-arena DJ/MC programme, national ticket outlets, coach and information lines, a 100K JBL surround-sound system, dancers, lasers, video screens, projections, UV cannons, backdrops, chill-out provision, licensed bar, food, parking and fairground attractions. Its archival value is strengthened by sequence: TMR already preserves Pure X Part 8 (TMR-000653), whose flyer explicitly says Pure X was returning independently with no connection to Hysteria. Part 7 therefore documents the immediately preceding Hysteria/Pure X collaborative phase. Specialist tracklist archives also preserve recordings from this exact event, allowing the printed object to be connected to surviving evidence of the music actually played.

Graphic-design significance: Vivid early-digital/cosmic Popz design combining airbrushed/computer-generated space imagery, stylised embracing figures, metallic typography and an illustrated Sanctuary complex. The reverse production line physically credits Popz for computer graphics and flyer design.

Historical context: The event sits at a significant early-1995 point when jungle/drum & bass and happy-hardcore lineages still shared major rave bills. Within TMR it also directly precedes Pure X Part 8 (TMR-000653), whose surviving flyer explicitly announces Pure X as back on its own with no connection to Hysteria, making Part 7 especially useful evidence of the preceding collaborative phase.

Condition note: Strong colour and substantial legibility on both sides. Historic fold creases, edge and corner wear, surface handling/scuffing and smaller local creases are visible. A more pronounced lower-edge/lower-centre crease or abrasion is visible on the reverse. No major material loss is apparent in the supplied views.

Confidence / uncertainty: Exact dimensions and printing stock/method have not been measured or independently established.
