We are beyond thrilled to offer the English language version of this rare poster! Though we have sold the Spanish version before, this is only the second time the English First Printing one is appearing in our auction!
The Mar Y Sol Pop Festival, also called "The First International Puerto Rick Pop Festival" took place in Manati, Puerto Rico, from April 1 - 3, 1972. The festival has an infamous reputation, due to a number of factors. A warrant for the arrest of the festival's promoter, Alex Cooley, was issued due to criticism of the event from Puerto Rican government officials. However, Cooley fled the island before the conclusion of the event and managed to avoid arrest.
Despite these drawbacks, the Mar Y Sol Festival featured some legendary musical acts such as Alice Cooper, the Allman Brothers Band, B.B. King, and more. However, some of the acts including Black Sabbath and Fleetwood Mac had to drop out due to issues with the Puerto Rican government.
This piece is extremely uncommon and is unlikely to appear in another public auction anytime soon! Bid accordingly!
