This rare book contains the best reproductions of early rock music posters ever seen in a single publication. What sets it apart from other vintage poster books is its large format, high quality treatment of these posters. All are full page, hi-res and color-accurate. More expensive metallic inks were used when necessary to match the original works. Classic posters from the Fillmore Auditorium, Avalon Ballroom, Family Dog and other venues in the late '60s and early '70s that sell for hundreds of dollars today are presented here in their full psychedelic glory.
Originally created for shows by Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Rolling Stones, Ten Years After, Jeff Beck, Jethro Tull, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Frank Zappa, Cat Stevens, Leon Russell, Alice Cooper, Bryan Ferry, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Blue Oyster Cult and many others, these posters cover much of rock music history. There's also an excellent introduction to the collection by the author.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Although this is an oversized, almost poster-sized book, these full-page posters are slightly smaller than their prototypes. Each poster in this book measures 15-inches tall x 10-inches wide (see photos) and old Fillmore posters were usually 20 x 14. Still, they are faithful copies printed on thick matte paper and worthy of framing if you so choose. Be aware that these are double-sided pages (poster on each side).
95 pages with 75 high quality reprints. Shipped flat in a protective sleeve inside a reinforced bubble mailer with a tracking number.
