We are pleased to offer the second poster issue (the image is OA 102 in the series) of this Original First Printing poster from the legendary Osiris Visions Series. This was a promotional poster issued for the UK band Tomorrow and their first single "My White Bicycle" in May 1967. The group Tomorrow was among the first psychedelic bands in England to gain underground recognition along with Pink Floyd and the Soft Machine.

 

The posters of Hapshash and the Coloured Coat are arguably the most attractive concert posters ever made. They advertised shows at London’s UFO club the brainchild of legendary producer Joe Boyd and John Hopkins (co-founder of the International Times). The UFO became the hub of Psychedelic Rock at the time in London and was the home of some of the very earliest Pink Floyd concerts.

 

These LARGE silk-screened posters were produced in the UK by the Osiris Visions Printing Company. They were printed on thin paper and because of their size the posters damage easily. This copy is in stunning condition.

 

Hapshash posters have been widely pirated so it's important to only buy from reliable dealers with a solid return policy. 100% original condition.
