Original 1st printing 17&1/2 x 21&1/4" concert poster for Lee Michaels appearing with Canned Heat and Chapter VI at the Blue Law (about 6 months before the venue became "The Bank") in Torrance, CA from 1/12-14/1968.

 

 Design by "Animal", thick flat vellum (almost like construction paper) stock poster is in good/decent (B/B- to B-) condition; there is a large 1&1/2" half-moon chunk out of the right center margin, a 1" diagonal wedge of paper missing from the top left corner, along with a series of thin horizontal stress bends traversing the image area, light surface wear, a few small edge tears, a couple of light pin-prick splatter stains along the bottom margin, a large tack hole and a good-sized diagonal bend in the upper right corner, otherwise fine.

 

 ULTRA-uncommon pre-Bank concert poster with a great psychedelic design, first one of these I have come across. For a closer look at the history of the Bank (complete with first -hand reader commentary), read HERE:
