We're pleased to offer this Texas rarity for the FIRST TIME in our auction! Here we have an amazing SIGNED poster created by one of the most noted Austin artists  Micael Priest! This example just emerged from a recently unearthed and long held collection of vintage Texas music material! It was produced as a promotional October 1978 Calendar featuring legendary musicians like Etta James Peter Frampton Jerry Lee Lewis and classic Armadillo artwork.

 

Demand for Armadillo posters is currently at an all time high and we see this as just the early days in a long trend. This can be attributed to several reasons including scarcity historical significance as ground zero in the Texas psychedelic scene and the recently published book on the venue "Armadillio World Headquarters - A Memoir" by Eddie Wilson with Jesse Sublett and forward by Dave Marsh. Read our blog dated 2/12/18 to learn more.
