English punk rock group GBH (Grievous Bodily Harm) headlined this run of shows in Portland & Seattle during June of 1985. This early original poster promotes the street punk pioneers appearing with Lock Jaw and Final Warning at the Pine Street Theatre and Gorilla Gardens. These posters were produced in tiny quantities for small venues on very short notice. We definitively know from printing records and first hand accounts by artist Mike King that these posters were issued in quantities of 25 – 750 with the most common print runs being just 175 250 or 350. This piece is in Superb Museum Quality that is unimprovable in every way!
