Original 1st printing 5&3/4 x 9" double-sided concert handbill for the May, 1967 schedule of shows held at the legendary Marquee Club in London, England. Design by/printed by Hepworth and Co., Ltd., handbill lists a wide assortment of acts on every night of the week (5/21 excepted), including Cream, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers (featuring Peter Green), Family, Savoy Brown Blues Band, Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, the Herd, Marmalade, the Creation, Spencer Davis Group, Syn and MANY more. Thin glossy stock handbill is in very good to excellent (B/B+ to B+) condition; there are a pair of thin horizontal machine folds (as issued- item was folded into 1/3rds and mailed), along with a pair of VERY soft vertical roll bends going through the middle of the piece and a few tiny pinch dings here and there, otherwise fine. VERY cool original artifact from an important incubator of the 1960's British rock scene... psychedelic Swinging London at its peak.
