A brilliant work of art by Wes Wilson! Here we have only the third CGC Graded example of the Original Pre-Concert First Printing of BG-39 to appear in our auction! Airplane member Marty Balin's sad passing has spurred a massive interest in anything related to Jefferson Airplane over the past couple years. In addition this historic run of concerts took place right after Grace Slick joined the Airplane. 

 

The BG-39 is beautiful and unique because it was produced using a “color wheel” technique which varies the ink color as it rolls down the print. As a result each poster made looked slightly different! The First Printings of this issue are extremely rare and seldom surface in public auctions in ANY condition.
