The Scottish post-punk indie band Franz Ferdinand made waves in 2004 with their debut single and first full album. The group is featured on this original poster for a run of shows a year later at the Paramount in Seattle and the Roseland Theater in Portland. TV on the Radio and Cut Copy were in support. Unlike many of the most popular and sought after concert posters from the 1960’s and 1970’s there were no official Reprints of these Mike King designed posters that are still readily available in big quantities today. This means collectors are forced to chase down the few surviving Original First Printings. Many collectors believe that posters graded 8.5 by CGC represent the best value in the marketplace today. Read our blog dated 1/31/18 to learn why demand is currently skyrocketing.
