This New Riders of the Purple Sage poster is a collector's favorite. Posters from the Armadillo in Texas are red hot and we see this as just the early days in a long trend. This is a great looking poster that promotes an awesome band and this example is in Super Clean PINHOLE FREE Condition! In April 2018 another example of this issue realized a high water mark of $1841.00 in our auction.
The Armadillo World Headquarters opened in Austin just after the closing of the Vulcan Gas Company. It went on to become the premiere venue in that musically rich city from 1970-1980. This legendary club offered an incredibly eclectic range of performers in its 10 year tenure. The posters from these shows represent one of the greatest collections of poster art available anywhere.
Interest in Armadillo material is currently at an all time high. 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 "Armadillo World Headquarters - A Memoir" by Eddie Wilson with Jesse Sublett and forward by Dave Marsh.
