This is only one of the few CGC graded examples of the difficult to find BG-34 First Printing Poster to ever appear in our auction! Wes Wilson’s stunning advertisement is for a performance by the enigmatic Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band at the Fillmore and this is an early Bill Graham favorite. The reprints of this issue are plentiful however the OP-1 First Printing can be tough to locate. We previously sold another graded example in similar condition for $1440 in our auction.
