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 good to very good (B to B/B+) condition; the main issue is a series of thin semi-soft horizontal roll bends traversing the length of the image (top to bottom), along with a few scattered tiny pinch/stress bends here and there and a stray surface/edge mark or two, otherwise fine. One of Van Hamersveld's most popular Pinnacle/Shrine images, this was one of the first Pinnacle posters that was printed/distributed by Personality Posters. Classic Cream!
