Traffic (Steve Winwood) 1972 German Tour-Blank Concert Poster....

Description

Traffic (Steve Winwood) 1972 German Tour-Blank Concert Poster. An original oversized paper tour-blank concert poster for British rock band Traffic, with Steve Winwood, touring Germany in 1972 with opening act Amazing Blondel. Each tour stop's exact details would later be printed into the blank white areas on either side of the band photo.

This trek found Traffic in between two of their biggest albums ever, The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys and Shootout at the Fantasy Factory. Both were Top 10 American albums in, respectively, 1971 and 1973.

Many European concert posters were "knocked off," or reproduced, at a later date to be sold in stores and such. This is an absolute pre-tour first printing of this poster.

This first-time Heritage offering measures 23 1/4" x 33" and grades to Very Good condition some edge crumpling in the upper and lower left corner areas, one pinhole in each corner and general overall toning. COA from Heritage Auctions.
