Description

Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Pink Floyd, The Move 1967 Small U.K. Concert Poster. An original small paper advertising poster for three British super-legends and three other bands playing at the Tulip Bulb Auction Hall in Spalding, Lincolnshire, England on the afternoon and evening of Monday, May 29, 1967. Very hard to imagine seeing Hendrix, Cream and Floyd for just one pound total admission, but here it is. Lots of charming wording on this piece, truly a four-color poster of red, green, black and orange. Jimi had released three singles in England so far in '67, and all three went Top 10 there: "Hey Joe," "Purple Haze" and "The Wind Cries Mary." And the LP Are You Experienced? had just entered Britain's Record Retailer album chart a few days before this. Meanwhile Cream were playing off Fresh Cream and Pink Floyd had only experienced the singles chart thus far with the Top 20 "Arnold Layne." Measures 8 1/2" x 13 1/2" and grades to restored Very Good condition. Repair work by Chameleon Restoration, COA from Heritage Auctions.

More Information: Poster was originally in quite rough shape and had been quarter-folded back in the day, but it's been brought back to life and had any missing color filled back in by Chameleon. Has a bit of a painted-in feel, but little to no color is broken in all places. Due to the quarter-fold, a vertical crease goes through the "I" in "Hendrix" and "O" of "Force" at the bottom, and the horizontal crease goes through "The Ram Jam Band." A stone original advertising piece from the spring of 1967 that can now live on for future generations.
