1969 Velvet Underground The Boston Tea Party Flyer MOUNTED

This flyer has been mounted.

This rare issue promoted the Velvet Underground playing at their favorite venue, The Boston Tea Party, for three nights in March 1969. 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. Though we have sold issues from the Velvets' previous engagements at the venue, but this is the FIRST time this one is appearing 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.
