This original first printing poster was designed by artist Matthew Radofsky for a run of Halloween Shows featuring the MC5 at Detroit's Grande Ballroom in 1968. It is G/G-681030 in the Eric King guide numbered series. MC5 started their music career in Michigan and developed a reputation for energetic and polemical live performances. They were a mainstay at the Grande Ballroom. Their 1969 debut album "Kick Out the Jams" landed them into the history books. Their lifespan was unfortunately short-lived, and in 1972 the band came to an end - just three years after their debut record. 

 

Condition: Bottom left corner crease, handling.
