We are proud to offer this super rare Original Cheetah Club Handbill for the FIRST TIME in our auction! This first printing handbill from Thanksgiving Weekend in 1967 is stamped and postmarked on the reverse side (see second photo)!
The Seeds got their start in Los Angeles during the mid-sixties and blossomed into the psychedelic era in 1967. They were renowned for their proto-punk garage rock sound. The Seeds have been among the most frequently cited pre-punk influences by musicians since the 1960’s. Cover versions of various Seeds songs have been performed live by The Ramones and The Smashing Pumpkins.
The historic Cheetah Club was one of the hottest places to play if you were an up & coming band in the late sixties. Frank Zappa discovered the “Alice Cooper Band” there in 1967 and signed them to his label. Janis Joplin Buffalo Springfield and Pink Floyd also performed there. Original Pre-Concert First Printing material from the Cheetah is extremely difficult to locate so this lot represents a special opportunity!
