Presenting this RARE poster produced for Leon Russell and the Elvin Bishop Group appearing at the Boston Tea Party for a three-night run in November 1970. Leon Russell was a multi-talented American musician, songwriter, and producer whose influence spanned several decades and genres. His career took off in the 1960s when he became a highly sought-after session musician in Los Angeles, but he later emerged as a solo artist in his own right. His 1970 self-titled album, "Leon Russell," showcased his songwriting prowess and established him as a formidable talent.
The Boston Tea Party venue is one of those pockets of poster collecting that frustrate collectors and dealers alike. The print runs were minuscule so the survival rates are painfully low. The hottest pieces were absorbed into top collections decades ago and rarely come up for sale. There is no official cataloging reference material for the venue that we are aware of.
