"The Spice Girls were formed in 1994 by the father-and-son duo Bob and Chris Herbert, who sought to create a girl band to rival the charts’ prevailing boybands. They posted an advert in the Stage asking: “R.U. 18–23 with the ability to sing/dance?” A five-piece was assembled featuring Michelle Stephenson, who was soon replaced by Emma Bunton.
The band were hothoused in Maidenhead and gradually began to overpower their management, becoming frustrated at their slow progress and refusing to sign a contract on the advice of Victoria Beckham’s father. In March 1995, they claimed to have done a bunk from their residence in the middle of the night, stolen their master recordings from the management offices, and used the phone book to track down a songwriting collaborator, Eliot Kennedy, who had seen them perform at a showcase.” - www.theguardian.com

"From the 1920s until the 1970s, colourful paper labels were pasted onto the ends of wooden fruit cases, as a means of identifying and promoting their contents as well as the growers, shippers and exporters of the era. The brightest designs were usually reserved for Australia’s expanding fruit export industry, especially fruit bound for Britain and Europe. Australian fruit labels presented an idealised and stylised view of Australia and were heavily influenced by their American counterparts. While fruit labels were produced for pears, grapes, citrus and more, the dominant fruit in labelling terms was apples, and the dominant apple-growing state was Tasmania, which became aptly known as the “apple isle”." - australiapostcollectables.com.au
