Original 1st printing 14 x 20"boxing-style/letterpress concert poster for Southern California surf-rock legends the Beach Boys appearing at the Santa Cruz (CA) Civic Auditorium on 3/28/1964. Design by "AW", printed by Sentinel Printers, thin flat index stock poster is in decent/used (B/B- to B-) condition; there is an approximately 1" chunk of paper missing from the lower right-hand corner tip, along with a hard horizontal center crease with a bit of tattering/wear in the left center margin where the fold starts, a few light surface "chips" along the crease line, a moderate amount of handling/surface wear, tack holes in three corners and a few hiding within the image area... definitely a well-loved specimen. I'm about 99% certain that this example was hastily removed from public display at the time of the shows by an enthusiastic Beach Boys fan. INCREDIBLY SCARCE and VERY COOL early-'64 Beach Boys concert poster from the Brian Wilson era.... I've never seen this one before!
