Clash Bond Multi-Show Handbill (1981)....

Description

Clash Bond Multi-Show Handbill (1981). Printed on very thin yellow paper, for a series of rescheduled shows in June, 1981, "...for inconvenienced Clash fans" at the Bond International Casino in New York. Measures 8.5" x 13.". In Near Mint Minus condition.

These Clash shows in New York took place off the back of the release of the group's 1981 album Sandinista!. This was a pivotal time for the band, at the point where their popularity really began to soar. The venue, Bonds International, had a limited capacity of only 1,750 (though the promoters had reportedly sold up to 3,500 tickets for each show, forcing the local Fire Department to cancel one performance), so, rather than let disappointed fans down, the Clash agreed to play a further eight shows.
