Original 1st printing 24 x 35&7/8" (linen backed to approximately 26 x 38" (irregular edge) total size) Warner Brothers Records promotional poster for "Garcia", the debut solo album by the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia. Designer unknown/not credited (W.B. art department), image is featured in the Art of Rock on page 420 (plate 4.283). Medium glossy stock poster has been professionally restored to near mint/excellent (A-/B+ to B+) condition; aside from the aforementioned linen backing, the horizontal/vertical folds (as issued, folded into 1/6ths) have been flattened/pressed out and a couple of tiny edge tears have been sealed, but I don't see any other apparent/obvious work on this one... it looks like it was already a pretty sharp example to begin with. AWESOME-looking EXTRA-LARGE early-'70's Garcia promo item! Stream the album HERE; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqauQmyDxjc
