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. 

 

This powerful poster for a cancelled Howlin’ Wolf show at the Avalon features another classic Mouse/Kelley design. The FD-27 issue was only printed before the concerts (there are no reprints) which makes this poster especially desirable and valuable. The shows themselves were cancelled but this classic image has remained a popular and important collectible in the series. A Top Quality CGC 9.8 graded example brought $6612 at auction in April 2017. This lot exhibits a great opportunity to add this issue to your collection without breaking the bank!
