Original 1st printing 5&3/8 x 10" double-sided concert/event handbill for the second Isle of Wight Festival of Music, held in Woodside Bay on the Isle of Wight off the coast of Southern England from 8/29-31/1969. Handbill lists appearances by Bob Dylan and the Band, The Who, the Moody Blues, Fat Mattress, Bonzo Dog Band, Family, Free, the Pretty Things, Marsha Hunt & White Trash, Battered Ornaments, Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation, Blodwyn Pig, Gypsy, Blonde on Blonde, Edgar Broughton Band, King Crimson, Richie Havens, Tom Paxton, Pentangle, Julie Felix, Gary Farr, Liverpool Scene, Third Ear Band and Indo-Jazz Fusions. Design by Dave Roe, thin glossy stock handbill (reverse side has ticket/travel information) is in good/decent (B to B/B-) condition; there are a pair of hard/worn horizontal creases (item was folded into 1/3rds at one point), a moderate amount of handling wear/creasing, a couple of thin diagonal corner creases and a series of tiny edge dings/nicks going around the outer margin area, otherwise fine. REALLY cool-looking UK festival item with an INCREDIBLE lineup (not to mention Bob Dylan's last public concert appearance of the 1960's).
