This poster has been mounted.
The king of the blues B.B. King is one of the most cherished musical icons of the century. The late great American Treasure introduced a sophisticated style of guitar soloing based on fluid string bending and shimmering vibrato that influenced many later electric blues guitarists. This poster announced his appearance at The Boston Tea Party on April 18th, 1968. Below that, two nights of The Siegel Schwall Band and the J. Geils Blues Band are also advertised.
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.
