The FIRST SIGNED example of this issue we've ever offered! The Young Rascals were a relative footnote to the music scene of the 1960’s but left a lasting mark with their classic #1 hit “Good Lovin". They had several other chart-topping successes but have not been embraced very well by the history books. This poster for an August 1966 appearance by the band at the Fillmore is one of the few lasting remembrances of the Young Rascals.

 

This poster is a prime example why many consider the first 30 of the Bill Graham series to be extremely undervalued at current price levels. If you want a damaged used copy you can take your pick as most of the original issuance were messed up long ago. This museum quality piece is tied for the FINEST quality CGC graded example to appear in our auction!
