This flyer is signed on the reverse by the artist, Bob Driscoll!
This flyer was produced for the Velvet Underground's March 1968 shows at the Boston Tea Party. According to Lou Reed, the venue was the Velvets' "favorite place to play in the whole country", and Boston adored the group just as much. In 1968, the band released their second LP "White Light/White Heat", their first after firing Andy Warhol as their manager. They played in Boston 7 times that year.
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.
