Sopwith Camel were considered to be one of the top San Francisco bands and were thought to have commercial potential early on. They were the second band after the Jefferson Airplane to score a recording contract.
This beautiful original poster is for a Sopwith Camel show at the Santa Venetia Armory on February 10 1967. According to an uncorroborated source from the Web “The band was originally scheduled to play this Friday night production at the Armory. However the Camel ended up having east coast obligations and the Grateful Dead took their place.” Many of these Santa Venetia posters were cut into circles. This is a sought after UNCUT example!
The boxing style posters that were created for the Santa Venetia Armory go for high dollars. Compared to those this piece is sure to offer tremendous value and yet shine as a rare gem. This original poster is eye appealing bright and crisp!
