Original 1st printing 20 x 14&1/8" concert poster for Chicago blues legend Junior Wells with the A.B. Skhy Blues Band at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, OR on 5/24-25/1968. Art by San Andreas Fault (Tad Hunter), image is part of the short-lived "Crystal Dog" series (sometimes considered to be a minor extension of the Family Dog/Portland series). Medium flat index stock poster is in excellent to near mint (B+ to A-/B+) condition; aside from a soft diagonal bend in the extreme lower right margin, there's a hint of edge wear and few scattered handling dings, other than that it's a really great example of one of the coolest-looking and most difficult-to-find posters in the series. EXTREMELY nifty Crystal Dog/SAF image, be sure to check out additional listings from this VERY extensive (and quite interesting) Portland/Crystal Ballroom collection.
