We are pleased to offer this extremely RARE, low print-run, original pre-concert poster for Janis Joplin appearing at the Cal Expo Events Building in Sacramento on October 11th, 1969. You may recognize the famous photo of Janis -- it's from a popular photograph taken by Bob Seidemann. Janis headlined this show with her new Kozmic Blues Band, along with Blues Image and Sanpaku in support. In 1969 after Janis Joplin departed from Big Brother, Columbia Records released her first solo album on the label called "I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama" about one month before this Sacramento show. We've seen the handbill version of this issue surface from time to time, but this is the first time the ORIGINAL POSTER is being offered in our auction! It is extremely rare and unlikely to appear again anytime soon. 

 

Condition Details: tape, tears, creases, paper loss.
