Here we have something very SPECIAL we have never seen appear at public auction! This lot contains original Invitation Cards and an Envelope for the FIRST Atlanta International Pop Festival held in 1969. The festival was organized by promoter Alex Cooley. He was also one of the organizers of the Texas International Pop Festival a few weeks later on Labor Day weekend.
Legendary artists like Led Zeppelin and Janis Joplin performed along with a powerful lineup of artists and the festival went down in history. These cards / envelope exhibit the same peace sign artwork which also appeared on the posters by Lance Bragg. The invitation card unfolds to reveal the full list of performers and requests the guest to “Take off on a completely unique experience”.
This lot contains 3 pieces: One original envelope One Invitation Card One Fold-Out Performers/List Invite Card. A very rare and hard to find collection of historical material not to present itself again any time soon. This lot is not graded however there are no pin holes paper loss or restoration of any kind. 100% Original and authentic!
