This poster has been restored: tear seals, reinforcement.

 

This rare original concert poster advertised Lothar & the Hand People and The Raven for a three-night run at the Boston Tea Party in February 1969. This is the FIRST example of this rare poster to appear in our auction! 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.

 

Condition: Creases, toning.
