We are pleased to offer this EXTREMELY RARE early cardboard tour-blank poster from the mid-1950s! We have NEVER seen another like it before. It was produced for "Blues-O-Rama", a tour featuring The Cardinals, Little Walkin' Willie, Nema, Jimmy Reed, and more! The posters of this era were produced in "boxing style" typically one color plus black and plain block lettering. They are among the most sought-after posters by collectors due to their historical significance and scarcity. Additionally, original cardboard posters are super popular and remain one of the most highly chased type of concert memorabilia ever known.
Jimmy Reed was a pioneering blues musician and songwriter who created radio-friendly blues music, helping bridge the gap between traditional blues and the emerging rock scene. He influenced legendary acts like the Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, and Bob Dylan. This amazing issue will not appear in our auction again anytime soon. Bid while you can!
