Lot Summary

An original promotional poster for Electric Circus, Common’s fifth studio album, released on December 10, 2002 via MCA Records. The album marked a bold stylistic shift in Common’s career and was widely praised for its ambitious, genre-blurring vision.

Jay Stewart acquired this poster firsthand on release day while working as a Marketing Representative for MCA Records in Los Angeles. On the album’s street date, Jay accompanied Common to retail appearances and hosted a tastemaker and DJ dinner at the MCA offices in Santa Monica, where the artist personally autographed the poster with the inscription “Love, Common.”

The artwork features a dense visual collage referencing multiple cultural figures, with a printed key identifying those depicted.
