Original 1st (Personality Posters, Inc.) printing 18&3/4 x 25&1/4" concert poster for Cream appearing with the James Cotton Blues Band and Mint Tattoo at the Shrine Exposition Hall in Los Angeles, CA from 3/15-16/1968. Art by John Van Hamersveld, image is featured in the Art of Rock on page 277 (plate 3.73). Medium-thick flat index stock poster is in very good to excellent (B/B+ to B+) condition; the poster is lightly toned, there is a tiny pull in the top left corner tip, a couple of ultra-tiny pin-prick surface scrapes and a soft age spot or two hiding within the image area, along with a few thin stress bends and light pinch dings here and there and a series of tiny creases/dings scattered up and down the left margin, otherwise fine. Very nice-looking example of one of Van Hamersveld's most popular Pinnacle/Shrine images, this was one of the first posters in the series that was printed/distributed by Personality Posters.
