This is the FIRST example of this Original Cardboard Poster we've ever offered! David Bowie material has been skyrocketing since the legend's untimely passing. David Bowie had a long and daring career in music. These shows in 1983 during his smash "Let's Dance" incarnation took place in Los Angeles. He had just released his fifteenth studio album and he was promoting the record on his supporting "Serious Moonlight" tour that summer. This vintage cardboard poster is an incredible collectible that is sure to excite Bowie fans everywhere!
The historic Colby Poster Printing Company produced promotional material between 1948 and 2012 and they became legendary for their signature fluorescent inks and bold all-caps typography although none of the original staff had any formal design training. They were members of the letterpress union the screen printers union and the typesetters union. Original Printing Cardboard posters are super popular and remain one of the most highly sought after type of concert memorabilia ever known!
