This lot will be accompanied by a Letter of Provenance attesting to the fact that it resided in the historic Early '66 Time Capsule Collection one of the most exciting and important concert poster discoveries of the past 20 years.
The FIRST CGC graded example of this handbill to EVER appear at public auction.
A number of people feel the Big Brother were fabulous BEFORE Janis and her undeniable talent showed up. It’s true they were very unique and Chet Helms looked after them. Elias Romero was one of the giants of the Light Show world. The art is minimal in these antique letterpress style broadsides but they were there as conventional reality started melting. Superb condition with no pinholes!
