Description

Velvet Underground Trauma Handbill (1967). They were still being billed as "Andy Warhol's" Velvet Underground on this incredibly cool handbill, which is just dripping with psychedelic lettering and trippy flowers. It's printed in odd shades of purple and rust on textured goldenrod stock, and also includes plugs for shows by Boston's Beacon Street Union and San Francisco's Wildflowers, all appearing at the Trauma Room in Philadelphia. All vintage Velvet Underground paper is hard to find, and this tough little jewel will be a highlight of someone's collection. It measures 6.25" x 8" and is in Very Good+ condition. It's a beauty -- like Venus in Furs!
