News spread quickly a few weeks ago about the sad passing of Roky Erickson at age 71 which has already spurred a massive interest in concert material for collectors and fans alike. Texas native Roger Kynard "Roky" Erickson was a founding member of The 13th Floor Elevators and a pioneer of the psychedelic rock genre. The group was a major innovator of '60s Rock & the "San Francisco Sound". They made several stops to the Fillmore and Avalon early on. This attractive poster ia a great example of an elevators poster by a seldom used Family Dog Artist  Steve Renick.

 

The Original First Printing of FD-34 doesn't surface in our auctions very often. This is only the second CGC graded example we've come across. In February 2018 a pristine 9.8 graded example reached a record breaking high water mark of $2082 in our auction. This clean specimen here will attract a lot of interest from collectors and yet also provide a special opportunity to acquire this issue for less than the higher mint examples would command.
