This New Riders of the Purple Sage issue is a collector's favorite. Posters from the Armadillo in Texas are red hot and we see this as just the early days in a long trend. This is a great looking poster that promotes an awesome band and this example is in superb Museum Quality Condition! In April 2018 an example of the same grade / condition realized a high water mark of $1841.00 in our auction. We expect this gem to enjoy spirited bidding!
Interest in Armadillo posters is currently at an all time high. The Armadillo World Headquarters opened in Austin just after the closing of the Vulcan Gas Company. It went on to become the premiere venue in that musically rich city from 1970-1980. This legendary club offered an incredibly eclectic range of performers in its 10 year tenure. The posters from these shows represent one of the greatest collections of poster art available anywhere.
