We are pleased to offer this long lost relic for the first time in our auction! Here's a magnificent Original Cardboard Poster printed by Globe featuring classic R&B legends like David Ruffin (formerly of The Temptations), The Soul Children (which included Isaac Hayes and David Porter from Stax Records in Memphis), singer Garland Green, Sue Rainey and many more! This large-sized boxing-style day-glow ink poster advertised their appearances at the Salem Civic Center on November 8th, 1969. This is a CARDBOARD GLOBE poster and Globe posters are universally considered among the most desirable concert posters EVER issued.
From its opening in 1929 until its closure in 2010, Globe Poster Company in Baltimore was the go-to place for musicians, circuses, drag races, and concert producers for bold, eye-catching letterpress advertising. It's no secret that Globe cardboard concert posters are the gold standard among advanced collectors. They rarely show up at public auction and when they do, they are always met with enthusiastic bidding!
