Here's one of the coolest posters we have ever had the pleasure of auctioning! This is the OLDEST CGC graded concert poster to ever appear at public auction! Obviously this is also the very FIRST CGC graded example of this poster to ever appear in our auction.

This beautiful CARDBOAD poster features a show of legendary bluesman Lowelll Fulson at the Sunset Terrace Bslltoom in Los Angeles Ca. This poster is so speacial that AN ENTIRE PAGE of the Art of Rock is devoted to a huge photo of this poster on page 34. In addition to the staggering age what makes this lot so special is it's cool design. The posters of this era were produced in "boxing style" typically one color plus black and plain block lettering. Six different posters with this style are featured on page 36 of The Art of Rock.

This poster is stands out and is deserving of full page and huge photo by itself due to the two colors and unique lettering.

Also unusual is that this poster is 100% Original with no restoration of any kind. This lot offers collectors an opportunity that may not present itself again for a VERY long time. Bid accordingly!
