This postcard is signed in ink by the artist the late great Wes Wilson!

 

Presenting a SIGNED example of the BG-50 Postcard in our auction! This Wes Wilson postcard announced a Fillmore Auditorium appearance by The Blues Project; the band that was a vehicle for the genius of Al Kooper. Kooper was also instrumental for his part in Bob Dylan’s game changing Highway 61 Revisited album. 

 

Zappa and the Mothers of Invention played in support at this show; they were just two months shy of the release of "Absolutely Free" the follow up recording to the groundbreaking “Freak Out” album. More and more collectors are coming into the fold with the knowledge that artist signatures add a whole other dimension to their treasures. Read our blog dated 1/20/18 where we discuss the skyrocketing demand for signed material such as this lot.
