Songs by Creedence Clearwater Revival are some of the most memorable and catchy tunes of the era. Unfortunately John Fogerty signed away his publishing rights to an unscrupulous manager Saul Zantz who was also the owner of the band’s label Fantasy records. The final insult came when Zantz sued Fogerty for copying his own style in the Fogerty tune “Old Man Down The Road”.

 

Posters like this are why collectors are now rushing into the hobby. Amazing Psychedelic image. Legendary band. Famous venue. Spectacular condition. Independent third party authentication and grading. In our May 2018 auction another 9.8 example of this poster reached a staggering $1151.00 high water mark and it wasn't SIGNED like this one. As supply and demand begins to shift collectors are now realizing these original posters will not be around forever. NOW is the time to acquire these relics before they disappear!
