This first printing Original Cheetah Club handbill from January 1969 was designed by renowned artist Bob Masse and this example here is in the FINEST QUALITY CONDITION we've ever offered of this title!
Bob Masse is one of rock's most seasoned and prolific poster artists. He is perhaps best known in the collecting world for his design of the July 1967 Grateful Dead concert at Vancouver’s Agradome. His work has been hunted by collectors for decades and remains one of the most celebrated artists of the era.
This double sided handbill features Long Island's early psych band Vanilla Fudge. The group's original members recorded five albums together between 1967–69 before disbanding. When Led Zeppelin first toured the United States in early 1969 they opened for the Vanilla Fudge at some of their shows.
The historic Cheetah Club was one of the hottest places to play if you were an up & coming band in the late sixties. Frank Zappa discovered the “Alice Cooper Band” there in 1967 and signed them to his label. Janis Joplin Buffalo Springfield and Pink Floyd also performed there. Original Pre-Concert First Printing material from the Cheetah is extremely difficult to locate especially in such AMAZING CONDITION so this lot represents a special opportunity!
