The Beatles, The Ronettes 1966 Washington D.C. Concert Handbill. ...

Description

The Beatles, The Ronettes 1966 Washington D.C. Concert Handbill. An original paper concert flyer for The Beatles appearing at D.C. Stadium in Washington, D.C. on Monday, August 15, 1966. Terrific graphics makes this one of the best Beatles advertising pieces from any of their three American tours.

Just one show here, at 8:00 PM, attended by about 32,000 fans. Opening act the Cyrkle got some love from the designer due to their catchy "Red Rubber Ball," a very recent #2 national hit. Ronnie Spector and the Ronettes are also plugged, but for some reason Bobby Hebb ("Sunny") and Barry & The Remains went unmentioned. The Ronettes' leader, the beloved Ronnie Spector, sadly just passed away on January 12 of this year.

Nice detailed ticket information down at the bottom - and remember, it was needed, because the '66 shows generally didn't sell out. Our most recent one of these, sold last summer and also grading Very Good, sold for $6,875. Measures 5 ½" x 8 ½" and grades to Very Good condition. COA from Heritage Auctions.

More Information: Handbill was once folded neatly in half, so there's a horizontal crease across the middle, intersecting John's and Ringo's faces. Otherwise just a light amount of the expected surface handling to a glossy piece like this, especially in the two lower corner areas, but with scant visual evidence.
