A new milestone for us at PAE has been reached with this amazing original 1965 poster with The Yardbirds. We have never offered the first original printing of this poster before until now! This EARLY Yardbirds issue features the legendary Manfred Mann along with a long list of supporting acts at the Adelphi Theatre in Slough / Southeast England on December 6 1965. The Yardbirds are at the bottom of the lineup - as the opening act! Incredible!
This concert showcased an early appearance of the legendary Jeff Beck on guitar for the Yardbirds having replaced Eric Clapton just months prior. The band had just released a number one hit "For Your Love". It cannot be overstated how scarce this first original printing is. We have seen early Yardbirds issues over the past decade of auctioning concert material and we have never seen this poster pass through our doors before. There is a very good chance we may not see it again. It was printed on thin card stock. Vintage posters from the early 1960’s are extremely difficult to locate due to such small quantities being originally produced for these early concerts.
